Re: How long would you keep a fresh turkey before roasting?

I used to pick the turkey up at farm on Tuesday to cook for Thanksgiving.

Re: How long would you keep a fresh turkey before roasting?

Thanks for the helpful replies. They prompted me to check the Sell By dates on the turkeys, and they ranged from 11/24 to 11/26. I wasn't comfortable getting it so soon, so I think I'll wait until this weekend to see if they put out fresher ones. I did notice they were partially frozen. That probably helps them keep longer. Thanks again for the responses!
