Widnes is a town within the borough of Halton. It sits on the banks of the River Mersey, staring out arch nemesis town Runcorn. It is linked to Runcorn by the Runcorn Bridge, and was famous for many years for the smell caused by decades of chemical production but now isnât really famous for anything.
According to the USDA, Ground turkey lasts 3-4 months in the freezer. However, I have noticed that the flavor changes in about half that time (and I'm talking about unopened store-bought ground turkey). If you want it to last longer, use packaging that is designed for freezer storage. See Related Links.
While frozen, a turkey is safe indefinitely. However, as soon as it begins to thaw, any bacteria that may have been present before freezing can begin to grow again. A package of frozen meat or poultry left thawing on the counter more than 2 hours is not at a safe temperature. Even though the center of the package may still be frozen, the outer layer of the food is in the Danger Zone between 40 and 140 Â°F â at a temperature where foodborne bacteria multiply rapidly.
