Hi all,
I got tired of paying $8 to $12 per pound for smoke turkey breast so I cured and smoked a few myself. If the breast is properly cured, smoked and vacuum sealed, what is a safe amount of time that I could keep it in the refrigerator? I have processed 8 breast so far and they are in the freezer. I really hate freezing meat so I thought I should ask ya'll for food safety advice.
The grocery store has been running turkey breast on the bone for $0.99 per pound, at 50% bone I am still way ahead on price and quality. I'm not a big fan of turkey stock, but I will find a use for it. ;)
Thanks
