Letâs say youâve got rheumatoid arthritis and your doctor measures you ESR and it is elevated. Then your doctor starts you on treatment and your ESR falls as the disease improves. As the ESR test can go up and down for many reasons itâs important not to âtreatâ the test.
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). The bird can safely remain in the freezer for up to 1 year. 2  Fresh parts of the bird can be kept for up to 9 months in the freezer. 3  Ground fresh turkey can be kept in the freezer for 3 to 4 months. 4  After this amount of time, the quality of the meat will diminish.
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.
