Help me.. Turkey question?!
Answers: I took a 20 Lb turkey out of the freezer 5 days ago, and thawed it in the fridge.. Is it still safe to cook and eat??
Cook it today. Do not stuff it. High heat (425) for 2 - 2 1/2 hours, then tent it with foil and turn down the oven to 350. Continue cooking until breast reads 180 on an instant read thermometer. DON'T OVERCOOK. Don't have a thermometer? Buy one! They cost about $6.00. No chef would be without one.
depends on when it finished thawing inside at the thickest part of the meat. Generally Once defrosted, any meat is good for about 3 days, so if it was defrosted in the fridge at 2-4 degrees C, it would have taken 24 hrs to deforst at least and even then probably not properly defrosted.
check it out, have a smell, (important! if it smells 'off' it probably is)
In any case, as long as it is cooked thoroughly it should be safe to eat.
it should be okay
I would think so... It usually takes me about 2 days to thaw a turkey. And meat is good in the fridge up to 3 or 4 days. So put it in the oven tonight!!!!
I expect it is dead by now. Don't eat it all on your own, get the pets and the children to scoff some of it.
