I have had a Turkey outside for 5 days, Will it still be ok to eat.

Depends on the outside temperature

3 to 5 days depending how long it was allowed sit out on the table uncovered. I have kept turkey for 6 days when the temperature was 35 degrees in the frig.

B vitamins are stimulating, so it may be best to take them before evening falls.

Hi Kathy.

Happy Holidays. The answer to your question is 'it depends'. On size of turkey, how you cook it (deep frying is faster than roasting, for instance, while smoking is really slow), and how you're judging it to be done. The most effective, and safest way to assist the cooking is to have a meat thermometer that can be inserted into the deep part of the ,er, white meat (the word police tagged me here) to monitor when it gets to a target temperature, usually in the 160-170F range. If possible, it's a very worthwhile investment to get a remote probe thermometer, with a cable that snakes out around the oven door and displays the meat temperature. Opening the door all the time to check temperature lets the heat out and runs the cooking all day.

I'm a big fan of the Alton Brown/Good Eats recipe
Good Eats Roast Turkey Alton Brown Food Network if you have the time ahead, the brining really makes for a moist tasty bird, and the actual cook time is usually between 2 and 3 hours, depending on the bird size. The initial high heat sear makes for great browning and crisp skin.

As a general rule, allow 20-30 minutes after baking for the turkey to rest before carving (cover in foil during this time). It'll cook a bit so as not to burn you while carving, and the juices re-absorb into the meat. (carve right away and a lot of the juice will run down onto the carving surface.

Bon Apetit!

Hi Ronnie:
- If it has been sitting unfrozen in your fridge for more than 2 days I'd personally not be eating it.
- Likewise, if you cook it, it should be eaten right away.
- Re-freezing uncooked is not considered safe food protocol.
- Freezing cooked in serving size portions and only thawing when you're going to heat and eat is usually safe.
Hope this helps.

Cook first!
