I rang Tescos and they said we must cook it within 24 hours of
defrosting. But didn't they used to hang game outside for days some
years ago?

Well yes but the game was handled in a very different way from a processed
supermarket turkey. Given the risks of giving family/friends food
poisoning over the festive season, I really wouldn't risk it.

Much better to pop down to M&S on the 24th where you'll find lots of
greatly discounted fresh turkeys.

So you don't have freezer space to leave it until the afternoon before,
to commence the defrost?

Too many Tims on this thread :-)
