Is it better to buy fresh or frozen turkeys?
It is better to buy fresh, but it needs to be purchased the day before roasting, and the selection at that time may not be suitable for your party. A fresh turkey should not sit in the refrigerator for more than one day since its quality will deteriorate quickly. If purchasing a frozen turkey, you need to purchase it at least 5 days in advance and provide ample space in the refrigerator for proper thawing.
