Answer 2

fresh turkey
Fresh turkeys should be cooked within 1 to 2 days after purchasing. However, if you buy your turkey farther in advance, store it in the coldest part of your refrigerator (usually the back, bottom corner), where it should be safe for up to 3 days before cooking. Should your fresh turkey feel frozen, never fear---it still is fresh! Since Federal regulations require that fresh turkeys be quick-chilled to 26F. what often happens is that the water in the cavity has frozen, not the meat.

frozen turkey
Frozen birds on the other hand, are immediately flash frozen after processing at about 30 degrees below zero, and held at 0 degrees or below. Keep in mind, however, that freezing draws out moisture, so the longer your bird is frozen, the more it will dry out upon defrosting. Don't keep your frozen bird longer than a couple of months or the texture will suffer and become drier when you do cook it.

This will apply to other meats as well.

Answer 3

Last christmas three chefs were on telly doing a taste test, none could find the difference between fresh & frozen turkeys.
Not many of us live next door to a supermarket, and as supermarkets have killed off small shops, well we have really by using them, we have no choice but to freeze meat and poultry, can`t say I have noticed much difference, if any at all.
If you`re like the rest of us You wont notice the difference either. It`s a case of needs must.
