How long can you keep a sealed defrosted turkey in the refrigerator before using?

A sealed defrosted turkey can be kept in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days before cooking. It's important to ensure that the refrigerator is set at or below 40°F (4°C) to maintain food safety. If you’re not able to cook it within that timeframe, it's best to cook the turkey and then refrigerate or freeze the cooked meat.
