To use cooked turkey left out overnight?

[Glitterblue]

Gaaa. I just found 2 packets of cooked turkey that I bought yesterday evening, still sitting in the dining room. I must have put them down when I was carrying stuff to the fridge and forgotten about them. How bad would it be to still use it for lunch? If it was a warm room I wouldn't consider it but the room is cold, right on the end of the house, and it was a freezing cold night last night.

I know people never used to have fridges etc (as my grandma loves to remind me!) but would I make my family sick if I give them this for lunch?

I would definitely use it as you say it has been in a cold room.

Cold room I would. Heating on or in sun I wouldn’t risk it.

I probably wouldn’t as I hate being sick / having the squits so not worth the risk for a couple of quid to me.

No chance I would.

I got some chicken breasts out to defrost last night and left in the kitchen. Hardly defrosted this morning as so cold. You should be fine.

I wouldn't use it personally but it would probably be ok,do you have a family dog or cat who would like it ?

Personally I wouldn’t because I worry about stuff like that. But I wouldn’t judge someone who did if the room they were in had been cold the whole time.

Does it feel cold to the touch? Open it, does it smell ok? Then its probably fine.

It’ll be fine, eat it. I ate ham a few days past it’s use by date the other day and it was fine.
