Toss, and I would eat most things.

You could cold water a smaller turkey (and possibly a larger one if you’re diligent) if needed

This is why I hate eating turkey at other people’s houses. Very few people seem to know how to properly handle and cook such a large bird.

I want to hear about it! Was it from a patio turkey?


Patio turkey! I love Thanksgiving on DCUM.


Me tooooo!

OP, I would not want to cook or eat that turkey.

I am dying thinking of all the turkeys that might have been sitting outside for days in this warm fall weather.

It takes 2.5 to 3 days for a turkey of that size to fully thaw in a fridge (40 degrees max). Based on that your turkey has been fully thawed for liekly at least a day - I would not eat a turkey that had been thawed and left out for 24 hours.

Absolutely not. I am pretty loose on food safety and even I would not touch this.

Maybe a neighbor's ham will be misdelivered to OP. That would be epic and would solve this whole problem!

It might be okay but you are not going to
Enjoy it, and why take the risk.
