The shelf life of a Butterball turkey depends on how it is stored and whether it is fresh or frozen. A fresh Butterball turkey should be cooked within one to two days of purchase if it is stored in the refrigerator. It is advisable to keep the turkey in its original packaging and place it on a plate or tray to avoid any cross-contamination with other foods.
On the other hand, a frozen Butterball turkey can be stored indefinitely in the freezer, although for the best quality, it is recommended to cook it within one year. It is important to wrap the turkey securely to prevent freezer burn. Once the turkey is thawed, it should be cooked within one to two days if kept in the refrigerator.
