How long can you keep a fresh turkey breast in the refrigerator?!


Question:

How long can you keep a fresh turkey breast in the refrigerator?

I purchased a fresh turkey breast on Thursday, is it ok to cook on the following Monday morning. It has been in the refrigerator all this time.


Answers:
Yes it's still good as long as it has stayed in a cold temperture.But you should cook it no later than 5 days from the time you bought it. If it was frozen when you put it in your fridge you have no worry, because it took 2 days to defrost in the refrigerator.

Poultry.. kinda scary. I'd say 3 days to be safe.

yes

indefinately, but you must squeeze the breast and kiss it everyday.

YES IT SHOULD BE ALRIGHT

I think it is no problem.

ya i keep it in there until im done with it. i didn't die here.

no more than 4 days.
