    Will it still be ok ? Was saving it for emergencies.

    Christmas eve and Bob's forgotten the turkey.

    He nips along to the local butcher just about closing time.

    'I forgot to get the Christmas turkey, and my wife will kill me if we have no turkey' he says.

    'OK' says the butcher.' Let me see what I have left.'

    He goes into the freezer and discovers that there's only one last scrawny turkey left.
    He brings it out and shows it to Bob. 'This one is normally £50 but I'll let you have it for £20' says the butcher.

    'That's no good, it's far too small. Have you got a bigger one?' says Bob.

    The butcher takes the bird back into the freezer and waits a few minutes and brings the same turkey back out to Bob

    'You're in luck' says the butcher 'This one is a 'no-show', but it's gonna cost you £30 as it's much bigger'

    'No, no' says Bob, 'That really doesn't look any better at all and I have a large family get together to think about'

    'Looks like I have no choice, better give me the both of them for £50'

    Seriously Steve, it's OK for about a month or maybe 2 at the most IMHO
    There should be something written about storage on the product itself.
    Depends at least on how long it's already been frozen, and on the temperatures previously used and to be used in the future.
    Anything over 2 months at less than minus 18C is questionable IMHO

    Good luck

    I'm not sure exactly when Turkey became the food of choice for our British Christmas?
    When I was kid it was always Chicken. So yummy too.

    As far back as I can remember Chistmas Dinner has always been focussed around a cockerill (capon), never turkey.

    Yes, I know I'm getting on a bit now

    Carina's not fond of breast meat.
    She seems to really enjoy chewing on the bones like wings, legs, thighs and ribs.

    I enjoy some of that meat also especially the legs, but I do enjoy Breast(s)
