Turkeys are smoked to impart flavor, not to extend the refrigerator storage time. Store a smoked turkey in the refrigerator, unwrapped, for up to one week. Once the package has been opened, use within three to four days. Turkey is so popular it also comes as turkey beacon, turkey ham, turkey sausage, ground turkey and turkey burgers. If you've decided to cook turkey parts instead of a whole turkey there are a few differences.
Raw turkey breasts cooks faster alone.
Breast meat cooks faster than dark meat and will dry out if over cooked.
