      when you say "started" do you mean you are in the process of making it/ or cooked it already? If you started cooking it/marinating it, I would refrigerate up to 2 days? If you finished cooking it, I would still refrigerate it lol. I would say it can last up to 3-5 days? If you didn't season it at all, it can go back in the freezer. :) not super sure but I would eat the food sooner than later.

      You are fully cooking the turkey before freezing? Are you freezing it the same day?
      Should be fine in the freezer for a couple of months. Should be okay in the refrigerator 4-5 days.

      You can freeze it for up to 6 months. You do start to lose flavor after about 3 months though. I like to batch cook and freeze in single serving containers for lunches to take to work. I buy food labels from Amazon that dissolve in hot water and mark on my containers the item's name and date and number of servings. I make sure it corresponds to something in either my MFP recipes section or as a saved meal. Makes it easy t log it when do get around to eating it.

      I cook a turkey when they are on good sale and freeze the meat for future use no pro (I live by myself so I get a lot of meals out of it).
