The turkey will be bad when you decide it is no longer edible. The time it takes to get to that point will vary depending upon many factors, including handling, storage temperature and packaging.

Use your senses. Check for off-odors, sliminess, mold and discoloration.

A turkey spoils when the bacterial load gets to the point where the meat is no longer considered edible. The length of time that it will take a turkey to spoil will depend upon a number of factors including the initial bacterial load, handling, packaging, and storage conditions.

Depending how the cooked turkey is packaged and stored, it could be edible for up to 4 days in the fridge or up to 6 months in the freezer. See Related Links.

How do you thaw a turkey in microwave?

A microwave is not the best option for thawing Turkey, however assuming your Turkey will actually fit in the oven, you should use the defrost option, set for a maximum of 15 minutes, let it stand for 15 minutes then repeat, if you try to defrost without allowing the Turkey to stand then you risk defrosting part of the Turkey and then cooking it whilst other parts of the Turkey are still frozen, this will spoil the Turkey and many even cause food poisoning.
