I plan to buy a fresh turkey from Lidl thursday 19th Dec and store in my fridge and cook on Christmas Eve.

Will this be okay?

I see people saying 3-4 days in a fridge but the packaging usually says cook by 25th December.

I have a large fridge, newish and temperature is below 3 degrees centigrade and it holds it's temperature okay.

Opinions please.

Presumably tomorrow is their Turkey special day?
Get one, freeze it until you're ready.

If it has a date on it and it will do follow that and if it doesn't last long enough freeze then defrost
