Shrink wrapped turkey
Asked on 19 Dec 2019 by SueB
I have just collected my fresh turkey for Xmas that is shrink wrapped. Is it best to leave it in the fridge as is - or should I remove the wrapping and wrap it in baking paper or a muslin cloth etc?

Hello,
I would leave it as is until Christmas Eve. Then I would remove the plastic, take out the giblet bag (if there is one!), then pat the bird dry with kitchen towel and wrap in greaseproof (or muslin if you like). Then return it to the fridge until just before to go to bed when it can be removed from the fridge and kept somewhere cool until the morning.
Best wishes
