Question regarding thawed turkey breast


Posted: Feb 10, 2014

Today I thawed a turkey breast (thawed it in cold water in the fridge).  Planned to make dinner tonight with it.  It is now thawed, but we are really not in the mood for what I had planned.  My question is will it last overnight in the fridge or once thawed do I need to use it right away?

Thanks.

Never mind - found it on the internet that it should be fine - Bad cook

I couldn't find anything about this earlier. Guess I didn't ask the right way. I did find my answer.

Agree - Should be fine

Something, once thawed, doesn't have to be cooked right away. Important thing is that it doesn't reach room temperature during the thaw.

You did all the right things and this should last as long as any turkey would. And, it can be frozen again once completely cooked.

As long as we're talking about turkey breasts, we like to take a whole boneless breast, season it, cook it up (we put it in a roasting pan on the grill). Once it cools, we slice it up into cold cuts for sandwiches. We store it in the freezer sliced up, so we always have it handy for sandwiches. Yummo. Way cheapter than buying cold cuts.

This has took me a while to come to terms with it, but I was diagnosed December 3 with Paget's of the right breast. This was misdiagnosed a year ago as eczema. I have to wait and have my 2nd MRI (as I freaked out with the 1st one) on the 31st of this month with a sedative this time, and an ultrasound to find out how far it has progressed. The mammogram is completely clear though and they did not find any lumps. Much prayers are appreciated as I have a 12 and 6 year old and husband at home. ...

Breast Cancer Awareness, Perhaps Going Too Far?Oct 07, 2013

Breast Mass FollowupMay 07, 2014
A few months ago, I posted a request for prayer.  One of the issues was a suspicious breast lump, which was recommended to be reimaged.  After 3 appointments that had to be rescheduled because of snowstorms here in the Northeast, I had followup images, including ultrasound, and ultimately a core needle biopsy last Thursday.  The radiologist called me yesterday to say the nodule was benign.  What a relief! I just want to thank everyone who prayed.  Those prayers meant so ...

Small Lesion On Breast, How ConcernedOct 19, 2009
I just had a mammogram in March of this year, everything fine. I noticed a slightly bigger than pencil eraser size reddish lesion on 1 margin of my breast day before yesterday. I have had other skin lesions and made visits to the dermatologist as recent as about 2 months ago, had seborrheic dermatitis on my face, also notice sometimes I have like a red, itching place on the upper groin. I wonder if I should be worried enough to go back in and have this latest place checked out? ...

Washing A TurkeyNov 20, 2014
We got going on a discussion below about Thanksgiving disasters, and the conversation got to washing turkeys before cooking them. This is not a good practice. You can spread more salmonella and other bacteria washing raw poultry. All it does is splatter rawness in the sink, on the faucets, on the counters, on your clothes, etc. Cooking to the proper temperature (165 degrees at the fattest part of the breast) kills anything you are concerned about. ...

Same Old Turkey Dinner Every Year.Nov 13, 2012
Every year I make turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, cranberry sauce, homemade bread and pumpkin pie.  The daughters will bring another dessert or two.  These are all traditional foods that my family enjoys, but I am so bored with it.  I need some new, fresh, and different ideas.  Even if I did something different with the beans or potatoes.  Maybe a fruit salad? I still want some of the traditional foods, but does anyone have any idea ...

Teens Who Only Like Turkey, No Veggies/smNov 19, 2012
I have been preparing for weeks for Thanksgiving. Have 4 teenaged grandkids who will only try the turkey. They usually only like mac and cheese or pizza. Should I include a homemade version of mac and cheese with my meal? There is no way I will go with the packaged stuff they usually eat. It's either that or to see them with a little turkey only on their plates. Hopefully they will change over the years. My menu includes turkey, stuffing and all the veggies one could imagine for the grownup ...

Turkey Experts - Do You Prefer HEN Or TOM TurkeysNov 22, 2010
This is a really dumb question, but since we had always gone to my sister’s house for Thanksgiving (she cooked the turkey and we brought all the rest of the stuff), I personally have not made a turkey in something like 15 years.  But it was getting harder and harder to get everyone in one place, with all the kids being adults with their own families, in-laws to visit, etc.  Then we do the whole thing again at Christmas.  So this year, instead of having the whole family at o ...

Unique Turkey/Stuffing LeftoverNov 13, 2012
Okay, so I'm posting ahead of time, but I just saw something interesting on the show "The Chew," the food talk show with Mario Batali, Michael Symon, Daphne (Dr. Oz's daughter) and Carla. They took leftover stuffing and turkey, stuffed it in red peppers and baked it, then threw gruyere cheese on top and broiled it till cheese was melted.  They cut the bottoms off the peppers just enough so there was no hole, but the pepper could stand up in a baking dish. I thought that sou ...

Should Your Turkey Be Taxed For Climate Change? Nov 25, 2015

But many consumers aren't aware of the link between their dinner plates and climate change, the re ...
