Advice Please

[bobbie22]

I have a piece of uncooked turkey in my freezer. It’s been there since last Christmas. Still frozen Does anyone think that this will be safe to eat after all this time? Thanks

[Sqad]

Yes...........if well cooked...says Mrs sqad.

Should keep for up to 9 months if stored properly

[bobbie22]

Hi sqad. Thanks for the reply. It’s cooking at the moment, but I just have some little doubts. It smells ok.

[bobbie22]

It was rock solid frozen

[bobbie22]

bUT. I had a new freezer earlier this year, and it was stored in someone else’s [a friend). Freezer for two days

[tiggerblue10]

I'm assuming you defrosted it thoroughly before cooking.

[bobbie22]

Did defrost properly. Overnight

[tiggerblue10]

It should be fine, Bobbie.

I know that I am biased , but Mrs sqad is the gospel of cooking to me. Inventive, a total genius with herbs and flavouring with exceptional presentation.

I would have no worries about the safety of eating it but the quality might not be as good as newly-frozen food. We regularly use food which has been in our freezer for a long time.

Thanks all, it’s got another twenty minutes left to cook. My son
Is visiting today, I haven’t seen him for a year.. so I want all to go ok.

Does your son know you're using him as a guinea pig? :-)

Yes

I've eaten meat including poultry that has been in my freezer for two years or more and it has been fine

[bobbie22]

You have all been great and thanks. The turkey looks and smell very nice. Looking forward to seeing my son and thanks for your good wishes. X

I've cooked poultry with freezer burns in the past and it's been fine.

Enjoy your time with your son :o)
