How long can a thawed out turkey stay in the fridge?

refrigerator, how long can it stay in without changing the flavor or
tenderness?
Sheldon
Forget about flavor and tenderness and instead think about safety.
After 2 days a fresh killed or thawed turkey is considered unsafe.

I found the question odd, too. This is why I sometimes ask how old people
are, which, of course, never gets a response because the reason for the
question is obvious. Born yesterday?

I didn't find yopur question odd at all... every holiday season people
ask all kinds of questions regarding handling turkey... even many who
claim to be experienced cooks actually know nothing about safe
handling for poultry. Your's is a very legitimate query... time for
the real imbecile inquiries is fast approaching, usually the most
inane by certain rfc regulars.
You can find more detailed information at the various major national
brands turkey/poultry web sites; butterball, empire, norbest, etal.
Some even have a hotline you can phone to ask for info. I would
strongly recommend following the safe food handling directions
exactly, do not improvise, otherwise people can become quite ill, some
can die (the very young, the elderly, and those with compromised
immune systems are most at risk).

Thawed out and left 21 days until Thanksgiving??? Even a 5 year old knows
better. You're not 55, you're a troll. Trolls taste especially good if
they are roasted slowly over an open spit on a rotisserie.

No one can have lived 55 years, cook or not, and not have a clue.

Well, i guess i don't have a clue. I can blame that on my wife who's a
great cook. But i do do all the home repairs-plumbing, electrical,
auto,that makes up for it. Sorry, but offensive remarks won't affect
me. You'll have to insult someone else. By the way, have a Happy
Thanksgiving.

I didn't mention anything about 21 days before Thanksgiving. You did.

You're not 55 yet.

Why are you still here? You should take a long break.

Many turkeys these days -- especially better organic ones --
are not hard-frozen but are instead stored and shipped "chilled",
meaning just a couple days before freezing. The best thing
to do is pre-order your turkey and pick it out the day
before thanksgiving. Overnight in the fridge it will lose
those couple degrees of "chill" and be perfect for roasting.
That's really the best plan. If you truly want to buy a
frozen turkey, use something like the chart Sheldon posted
a link to for thawing, but there is some risk it will thaw
faster or slower than predicted by the chart.

Good point. The charts are based on an ambient temperature of 40F. Most
people keep their refrigerators in the 34 to 36F range. So, folks should use
a calibrated refrigerature thermometer (or a Polder-type probe thermometer)
to check the actual temperature. Just be sure to allow at least 30 minutes
of closed door time before checking the thermometer, as each time the door
is opened the temperature will increase.

I'm not sure that's completely standard.

Believe it or not, there are standard definitions. This from
http://www.the-perfect-turkey.com/thawing-a-turkey.html
<begin quote>
Why is thawing a turkey necessary? A turkey is sold "ready to cook." No
butchering and little if any feather removal is necessary. But because the
standard is to deliver at least a "chilled," if not a "frozen" product, your
bird will require some defrosting.
Turkeys may also be sold as "hard chilled", or "refrigerated", which means
that these birds are between 0 degrees F and 25 degrees F.
Turkeys labeled "fresh" by definition can never have been chilled below 26
degrees F. As you can see, although they don't meet the US government
definition of frozen, they still pretty cold birds. When thawing a "fresh"
turkey it won't take as long to defrost it as a solidly frozen bird. But it
can slow you down, if you are in a hurry. <end quote>
