I have stored it in a second refrig in basement. I turned the cold
setting to MAX and placed the bird on the bottom shelf to the back. Oh,
and the bird is in a tightly sealed, plastic bag.I wouldn't do that.
With any turkey I bought from a known and trusted
source - or duck or chicken come to that - I'd hang it in a cold place
(not
a fridge) for 3 - 5 days to develop flavour.

I'd never buy a turkey from an unknown source so couldn't advise.

Mary, who said anything about buying a turkey from an unknown source?

My post was a general one and some folk might have been up in arms because
of the danger of doing such a thing :-)

I bought it from a local turkey farm. But, I guess we all can't know the
butcher as well some people do.

That's true. I don't buy turkeys from a butcher - or any meat come to that.
The only turkey we eat is reared by a daugher on her Welsh organic farm, I
know the birds, their breed, their environment and their names.

I wouldn't hang any bird from a butcher.
