322 B.C. The legend started with chicken hens rather than turkeys. The Etruscans believed that hens were fortune tellers because they clucked before laying an egg. They would often sacrifice hens, and after leaving out the collarbone to dry, they would wish upon it. Fresh and cooked turkey should only be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. An uncooked turkey can be kept in the freezer for about a year, but once a frozen turkey has been completely thawed it should be cooked within 24 hours.
Giblets are the edible internal parts of birds, such as the gizzard, heart, liver and neck.
Usually, giblets are removed during processing and reinserted into the turkey's body cavity wrapped in plastic or paper. Giblets are commonly used to make gravy stock, while some people simply feed them to the dog.
