food, hypochondria, plea for reassurance
Okay, so... we just noticed the turkey we've been eating all week is FOUR MONTHS past its listed sell-by date.
That... that has to be a misprint, right? Turkey that far past its expiration would be REALLY obviously spoiled, right?
It was... a bit moister than usual but not slimy, no discoloration, and it really just smelled like mediocre turkey. Surely, it couldn't still be that close to normal if it were THAT expired, right?
Honestly, this is pretty traumatic for me, so if people in a saner condition than I am could reply fairly soon, I'd be real grateful. Peg and I have already argued over this (I think we're okay now) because I'm just so fucking stressed out over this, especially the TWO MONTH max incubation period I'm seeing for Listeria.

@zebratron2084 I'd wonder if it'd been frozen for a long time, so that would explain it being okay to eat, not obviously gone off, and somewhat moist but basically mediocre.
