Could my turkey possibly be spoiled?!?!
Has anybody done this before - so yesterday I smoked a turkey, the last couple hours on the smoker I wrapped it up real good in a few layers of tin foil.
After pulling it off I left it wrapped set it in an empty cooler, closed the lid and left it in the back of my truck until this morning, when I got it out to carve it up. Total time in cooler, about 12Hrs. It wasn't cold to the touch but it wasn't room temp either.
So it was left wrapped up and in the cooler, It got fairly chilly last night I think upper 30's or so. When I got it out this morning it looked fine and actually smelled and tasted great. Simply Intrigued, A google fu search returned plenty of opinions but I was just curious if anyone on here has done a similar thing or can offer some insight.
Appreciate it, have a safe and happy thanksgiving!
