Once I defrost my turkey joint do I have to cook it straight away?

Hello

First year doing my own xmas dinner, have made roast dinners before though

I have just bought a frozen turkey breast joint from Aldi but I have a really small slimline freezer and it has taken up about half the room in my freezer and I still need to get a few other bits and pieces e.g buffet food and probs extra loaves of bread.

I have an Asda delivery booked for 22nd December, if I take the joint out of the freezer then, will it still be safe to use on Xmas day?

I have no problems using fresh to frozen steak mince etc after being defrosted for 2-3 days, but I am just a bit wary with it being poultry.

Any help appreciated.

i'm taking mine out on the 22nd to ensure it has defrosted properly

should be absolutely fine kept in the fridge

as the poster above said
it will be ok for a few days.

Thanks both of you.
Just with it being my first attempt.. despite leaving home 11 years ago I would hate to poison anyone, lol

This weather , stick it in the garage , will be as cold as a fridge .
