For safety reasons, you should use a thermometer to check if your turkey is done before serving it. Always use an instant-read meat thermometer when testing the doneness of poultry (chicken and turkey). The internal temperature of cooked poultry should reach 165 degrees F (74 C) as measured by an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh or breast without touching bone or fat. If your oven doesn’t have a built-in thermometer, invest in one that does!

The white meat on a roasted turkey is drier than dark meat because it contains less fat; therefore it’s best to serve this type of meat with gravy or sauces so that it stays moist while you eat it. It also has more flavor than dark meat which tends towards blandness unless marinated first–so if you want something savory then go with white meat!

If you refrigerate your cooked turkey right away, it can last up to 5 days.

If you refrigerate your cooked turkey right away, it can last up to 5 days. If you don’t plan to eat it within 3 days, you should freeze it immediately.

To keep cooked turkey fresh in the fridge:

• Store on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator so that juices do not drip onto other foods and cause them to spoil quicker than usual.
• Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil (if using foil, make sure that no part of the turkey is exposed). This will help keep out air and bacteria from spoiling your meal even faster than normal!

Cooked turkey should be stored at 40-F or below in a tightly sealed container or plastic bag.

Once you’ve cooked your turkey, it’s important to store it properly. If you don’t, bacteria can grow on the meat and cause food poisoning. Cooked turkey should be stored at 40-F or below in a tightly sealed container or plastic bag.

To freeze your cooked turkey:

• Wrap tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and place in freezer bags. You can also use vacuum sealers if they are available. This will help prevent freezer burn on your food while also locking in moisture so that it stays fresh longer when thawed out later on down the line.
• Make sure that your freezer is set at 0 degrees F or colder by using a thermometer to test its temperature before putting anything else into there (like ice cream).

Cooked turkey should be eaten or frozen within 3 or 4 days of cooking

If you don’t plan to eat the cooked turkey within 3 or 4 days, it should be frozen immediately. After this period of time, bacteria can grow on the meat and make you sick. In addition to that, cooked turkey doesn’t keep well in the fridge once it’s been cooked; it begins to lose moisture and dry out as time passes by.

Conclusion

If you don’t plan to eat the turkey within three days, you should freeze it immediately to prevent bacteria from growing in the meat and making you sick.
