Turkey seems to go bad quicker than other cold cuts ... If I can't eat the turkey within 4-5 days tops it gets tossed.
Stuff that's more heavily processed, smoked or otherwise preserved (stuff like salami, bologna, some types of ham) seem to have a little bit longer shelf life (maybe a week or so). Over 2 weeks, I gotta say you're pushing your luck a bit. |

Smell it and if there is any question about it being bad, throw it out. Ask yourself if it's worth eating the turkey if you run the risk of spending 3-7 days with blowout diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, etc, etc.
 Some strains of E. coli and Salmonella are so bad that you will wish for death. No joke, I work in a research lab with them everyday and know how sick they can make you (although thankfully not firsthand). |

when it has a slimey film on it, it's too old and needs to be thrown out, thats a sign it's breaking down and not safe to eat.

You can extend the life a little bit by pan frying it thoroughly on BOTH sides over high heat.
Not sure if Turkey will be palateable after that but Ham is pretty good that way. |

Depends on the brand and how it was packaged.
Vacuum sealed and never opened it should be fine. opened, proceed at your own risk. |

+1 on the smell and slime tests. If it passes those, I'd nuke it and get it sizzling hot and make a hot sandwich out of it. it won't make it sterile, but the heat will kill a lot of bacteria and give your immune system a better chance.

It was kinda slimy,but here in PA we only get our lunch meat from a deli fresh cut. None of that packaged shit. I will update when i start befriending the crapper later on. I did douse it in some hot horseradish mustard which im sure killed all the germs :)

We may need to take up a collection. I don't think the mortician will be able to remove the horrible grimace from WindGap's face, so for the sake of his friends and relatives, maybe a quick cremation would be best. RIP, WindGap |
