Your fresh turkey is a VIP. It expects five-star treatment. But that star fades fast. For a raw, fresh turkey? You get one to two days max. Three is pushing your luck. Treat it like a celebrity with a tight schedule.
Why so short? Bacteria love a party. They love raw poultry more than you love leftovers. Your fridge slows them down. It doesn’t stop them cold. Think of it as a disco with a slow-motion dance floor. The germs are still moving, just grooving slower.
