Can You Eat Cooked Turkey After 5 Days?
It is generally not recommended to eat cooked turkey after 5 days as it can become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and can cause food poisoning. It is best to store leftovers in the refrigerator within 2 hours of cooking and consume them within 3-4 days or freeze for later consumption. If the turkey shows signs of spoilage like a foul odor, slimy texture, or unusual color, it should be discarded immediately.
