Anway, as long as the turkey has been safely frozen for the year then there will be no issue with the taste or quality. If you can be assured of that then go for it. I was a butcher for 5 years and although we would never have given a frozen bird from out freezers for sale there is no issue with eating one that has been totally frozen. Usual disclaimers apply.Comment

Damn, reminds me, I haven't got round to ordering my goose yet. It's probably too late now.
(*) The supermarkets claim the brine treatment is designed to make it more juicy.
So if it's been kept chilled, well, even as long as the bag hasn't been opened, it'll last like the Pharaohs.
Safe to eat, no worries.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

We once had a Haggis in the freezer for 3 years which we had to eat as it was the last remaining edible thing in the household. It was bloody disgusting once we had clubbed it to death after it had been thawed.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

I'd eat it. I'm not a fan of sell by dates - if it smells or tastes off it's off, else it's Ok to eat IMHO....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
