Question: how long can you keep a fresh turkey before cooking uk?
Answer: “The official guideline we tell consumers is that if you're going to buy a fresh turkey, you do it only one or two days before you plan to cook it,” says Tina Hanes, the team leader for the USDA's Meat & Poultry Hotline. “Some stores allow you to pre-order it. If they do, don't pick it up before Tuesday.”
