View All. For a long time, normal blood pressure was defined as 120/80 mm Hg (systolic/diastolic). Recently, however, the American Heart Association revised its guidelines about what an optimal blood pressure range is, and when blood pressure is considered too high or too low. While 120/80 used to be considered normal, the new guidelines define three levels of abnormal blood pressure values. 120-139 / 80-89 is now considered to be âprehypertensionâ (or âalmost high blood pressure), and doctors are watching blood pressures in this range more carefully than in the past.
4. Keep thawed turkey in the refrigerator. A whole, uncooked, thawed turkey can be stored in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. If kept undisturbed in the store packaging, you can store store-bought turkey in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or until the use by date marked on the packaging. The refrigerator should be at a temperature under 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius).
Once it is completely thawed, how long can I safely keep the thawed turkey in the fridge before cooking it? Answer: It depends on how youâre thawing it. If youâre defrosting the turkey in the fridge, you can safely keep it refrigerated for an additional one or two days after itâs fully thawed, says the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Another bonus of thawing your turkey in the refrigerator: If you happen to have a last-minute change in plans, you can refreeze the raw turkey within that same timeframe. On the other hand, if youâre planning to thaw the turkey in cold water (see here for details on how to do this), the USDA advises that you cook it immediately.
