text: if you have a turkey from last year for thanksgiving , is it still good for this years thanksgiving ? can you you give me more specific details ilike a yes or a no answer for this question that i 'm giving to you to answer, before thanksgiving comes. no, it's not. if it's been in your freezer unwrapped and in it's original plastic coating, my suggestion is to throw it away and buy a new one. even cooked and frozen turkey after a year will probably be freezer burned adn won't taste good. buy a new one. good luck. (after 26 years of marriage and many many thanksgiving turkeys...please don't cook that old bird)
