How long do you hang a turkey for after killing?

After killing a turkey, it is typically recommended to hang it for about 1 to 2 hours to allow the meat to cool down and the rigor mortis to set in. This process helps improve the texture and flavor of the meat. However, hanging for too long can lead to spoilage, so it’s important to monitor the temperature and conditions. Always ensure the turkey is hung in a cool, clean environment.
