Best Answer

A raw turkey should keep for a year in the freezer. If it is cooked, figure on a month.

(To answer the Discussion) Cooked turkey will last 3-4 days in the fridge. For best flavor after cooking a turkey, remove the leftover meat from the bones. The bones develop off-flavors rather quickly, so boil them ASAP to make broth. For soup, you can then separate any meat from the bones and add extra meat that you cut off earlier.
A frozen, uncooked turkey, can be kept in the freezer up to 8 months. If the turkey has been cooked, the recommended freezer life is 4-6 months. Be sure the turkey is well wrapped so as not to get freezer burn, which will decrease the flavor and vitamin quality.
