We got a frozen 20 lb turkey on 12/19/05 and it has been in the fridge ever since . Is it safe to cook?

fridge, or freezer?

frozen it is still good, but if it was in the fridge, thawed, throw it out!

Ok, how about if the turkey was frozen for 6 months, but has been in the fridge for a week....is it still bad??

[kph]

uncooked turkey or smoked??

if youre saying your turkey has been in the fridge for a yr thawed?? TOSS IT!! if you meant your turkey was frozen for a yr then thawed I would be real careful. as a a rule turkeys thawed can last up to a week if kept in its original wrap and your fridge is cold, also....youll prob have to rinse it thoroughly and if it smells I would not chance it. depending on the size It only takes 3-5 days to thaw a turkey in the fridge. I myself would not cook it if left in the fridge more than a week.
