    A woman I work with asked me a question that I didn't know the answer
    to and looked up 'turkey' under a directory title/search and couldn't
    find the answer either.
    
    She has a turkey carcass - refrigerated - that is over a week old.  
    She wants to make a soup stock from it and needs to know if she can 
    do so without the possibility of getting sick?
    
    My first response was 'no'...but then I figured the carcass is going 
    to be boiled - so perhaps it would be o.k..  She said she is going to 
    go home and smell it and make a determination from that standpoint.
    
    Anyone have a surefire way of knowing how long to keep it - before it
    goes bad?

|     I don't see any problem with it if it's been in the fridge for a week.
    Probably getting picked over during that time?

|     Is this a carcass that is left over from a roasted turkey
    (i.e. already cooked) or is it one where the turkey meat has been
    cut away before cooking? I'd be less concerned with the cooked version.

|     This is a carcass that is left over from roasting the turkey on 
    Sunday - the 9th.

| Should be just fine, unless it smells bad or has gone moldy or something like that. Especially since it's going to be boiled to death during the soup- making process, anyway. --PSW | |||||
