Lidl are selling some excellent looking Christman Turkeys as of tmrw. Obviously, it being Lidl, I'll have to get one tmrw as they'll sell out real quick. Was wondering if it'll last till the 25th? I'll be storing it in a cool cellar. Don't want to poison the whole family on Christmas day!

Ask a relative to freeze it if you haven't got room
Or
Cook it, cut it up into smaller non Turkey size portions and place in freezer and reheat accordingly on the day.

Er... check the use by label? It's the 19th tomorrow, a massive 6 days till cooking. It won't deteriorate that much in the fridge.

A cool cellar to store it in? If you survive, at least you can go to the funerals of your entire family who you'll have killed.

They, like all Christmas turkeys will contain a gas flush, they will last. Get in there quick they will go fast.
