How long can refrigerated ground turkey last?

[So-Innocent]

I bought ground turkey 5 days ago and there was no room in my freezer so I put it in the refrigerator. I won't be able to use it until tomorrow so I was wondering if the ground turkey will still be good?

It's unopened it's original sealed packaging.

Check the "best used by" date on the sticker. If it hasn't passed, you should still be able to tomorrow. As with all meat, make sure to cook it well done to eliminate all the nastiness that isn't killed if you use low temperatures or don't cook it long enough. You'll be okay. :)

BTW, if you weren't anonymous, I'd cook it for you. Fellow turkey lover in the house! :)

Turkey is the greatest. I wish someone would cook it for me!

Thanks so much for answering!

How can I cook for you when I don't even know who you are? :P

Best answer for me! :D

Ha ha, thanks. Next time you post about turkey, don't make it anonymous. :)

Turkey tacos:

Cook the meat until slightly caramelized. Add a little garlic salt. Stuff the meat in with the tacos, add mozzarella cheese, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes and lettuce. Add a twist of lime or lemon juice and sprinkle with black pepper or hot sauce to taste.

Your mouth will explode.

Omg turkey tacos sound so good right now. Mouth is watering just thinking about it. If I had the ingredients I would cook it right now!

It should be good, just defrosting. But you can't freeze it again.
