Quick Answers
Is it okay to freeze a whole, cooked turkey?
Because it would take a long time for the interior of a
whole, cooked turkey to cool and freeze, it is possible
that harmful food-poisoning bacteria could multiply and
make the food unsafe. It's a better idea to carve the
turkey right after cooking and separate it into
meal-sized portions before freezing it. The turkey will
chill and freeze faster, resulting in a safer and better
quality product, and it will be much more convenient for
you to use. Be sure to use freezer packaging material.
