Can you partially freeze a turkey to keep it fresh?

Partially freezing a turkey to keep it fresh is not recommended, as it can lead to uneven cooking and may not preserve the turkey effectively. Freezing and thawing poultry repeatedly can compromise its texture and quality, making it more susceptible to bacterial growth.

The safest way to keep a turkey fresh is to leave it frozen until ready to cook or to thaw it properly in the refrigerator. If properly thawed, the turkey can remain edible and safe for a few days before cooking.
