leftover turkey

debtmess

thank you for lots of ideas have alot of turkey in the freezer a good 6-10 meals worth

**confuzzled**

...is it still ok to use?!?

It's been in the fridge since boxing day(looks & smells fine) but not sure if I can use it.
I would be using it in a curry if it's still ok(not sure if that makes a difference:o)

any advice much appreciated

TIA xx

I reguarly eat food after it's use by date, but I would not eat any meat as old as this I'm afraid. Too risky.

only if you have a strong stomach I think.

Even I'm not that brave, meat in the fridge after 2 weeks is really pushing it.

No, it's too old. You need to use it within about 4 days. Next time, you could slice the remaning meat off it and freeze it ready to reaheat or to use in other dishes or do what we do and have a 'How many meals can we get out of the Christmas leftovers' session and make it into actual meals to freeze for later in the month.

I'm afraid that I would agree with everyone else and bin it. Twelve day old turkey is just not worth the risk.

Thanks for the quick replies:D I figured as much but wanted to get other opinions...mainly coz I HATE throwing away food:mad::mad:

Ah well.....will teach me not to let DH talk me into getting takeaways in future:rolleyes:

Thanks again xx

I'd think it would be fine - it's been wrapped and in the fridge, right?

If it looks alright, smells alright, feels alright and tastes alright when you try a bit - it most probably is alright.

Cook it up, see how it goes
