About how long can I keep a whole frozen turkey in the refrigerator, thawing, before

[dawnnys]

I should cook it? I don't mean how long will it take to thaw, but when would be the MUST use-by day? It's a 11-pounder, refrig is 34 degrees, and it was frozen solid on Tuesday.

'Hoping it will last until Sunday! Thanks.

No problem

My butcher told me a frozen turkey, truly frozen, can take up to 4 days to thaw

at 34F it may not even be fully thawed on Sunday

Great, Sunday night it is... thanks

I agree. The thicker parts may still be frozen. No problem with Sunday.
