So, how do you store a fresh turkey to keep it fresh for as long as possible? Well, it's quite simple really. First, make sure you store it in a sealed container or plastic bag to prevent cross-contamination. Then, place it in the coldest part of the fridge, usually the bottom shelf.
And, don't even get me started on the importance of labeling. Make sure you label that turkey with the date you bought it, so you can keep track of how long it's been sitting in the fridge. You don't want to be like me, and have to play turkey roulette every time you open the fridge.
