A whole turkey must be kept refrigerated or frozen to prevent bacterial growth. If purchased fresh, store it in the coldest part of your refrigerator (below 40°F) and cook within 1-2 days. For longer storage, freeze the turkey immediately. Thaw frozen turkey safely in the refrigerator (allowing ample time – about 24 hours for every 5 pounds), in a cold water bath (changing the water every 30 minutes), or in the microwave (cooking immediately after). Never thaw at room temperature.
