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.

Fresh or pre-frozen turkey should be used within a year of the consumer placing it in their home freezer for best results. Cooked turkey that has been frozen should be used within 3 to 4 months.

Up to 2 years, but preferably it should be used withing 3 to 6 months...alternatively....look on the plastic bag the turkey came in and it will tell you.

You can freeze a turkey for up to a year. Leaving it longer than that will likely result in a loss of quality.
