Would ya eat it?
« on: March 09, 2017, 07:39:27 PM »
Still good? Been frozen as far as I know since I got it in December 2015... Freezer got left open once or twice, never lost power, always stayed....Solid....


Not a turkey fan so...... Yeah

But... Don't wanna throw it away if it's salvageable...

Not too excited cuz it's... Commercially raised turkey....

Never cooked it cuz I live alone

Toss it in the oven, or off a dock?

I would eat it, but crab bait is also a good use.

When you thaw it, you'll know.  Probably going to be better crab bait than sammich meat, imho.

Worst case it's horribly freezer burned and you use it for crab bait or find someone that feeds their dogs raw food and give it to them.

I'd be tempted to thaw and cook it if the freezer burn isn't too bad.  You could always use whatever you don't eat that night for some combination of sandwiches, shredding it for tacos/enchiladas/burros, soups, etc.  You can refreeze the meat after you cook it.

It's only just over two years old and it appears to be sealed in plastic.  If it has been in a deep freeze and it is kept turned down it will probably be fine.  If it has been in a frost free it is crab bait, dog food or garbage.

I wouldn't waste it. It's only two years old and it's been frozen. Cook it up, use it for sandwiches, casseroles, whatever. It's not going to hurt you.

For $62 I wouldn't chance it, use it for crabs or give it to some one the will.

Look at it this way $62 over two years is only a about a $2.75 loss a month

If it hasn't thawed, look it over for freezer burn and if it looks good, cook it up.  :twocents:

Depends on how much money you make.

If you're paycheck to paycheck and think that things like bear steak taste good, then eating it wont hurt you and you'll get something out of the $60.

If you're single, renting a condo or cheap house, with no family and no kids, and like good food, then make it into crabs.

If you don't have a boat, then go buy one and you'll feel rich no matter which income bracket you're in.

I owned a boat once. Felt rich buying it and was thereafter poor until I sold it! :chuckle:

Weigh it, give you a good idea of freezer burn.  Poultry does not keep as will as some.  Safe if cooked properly?  probably.  Edible????

We've had factory packaged turkeys in the freezer for 2 plus years. No detectable difference form new. Of course they were always in my control, and always kept in the deep freeze.

Absolutely.  If it has been in sealed plastic in a deep freeze it will be just fine.

Thaw it out slowly and then check it out for burn.
If it looks good roast it with an eye towards enciladas and taco fixings which will require the appropriate seasonings while roasting. (Add some moisture to minimize drying).
If it is a little bit freezer burnt trim it up and make a big batch of tortilla soup.
If it's toast, feed the crabs.
BON APPETITE!!
