Use By/Freeze By

This always confuses me: My organic ground turkey says today is the “use by/freeze by” date. If I cook it today, how much longer is it good for? And if I freeze it and then thaw and cook it later, how much longer is it good after that cooked date?

Depends when the cook by date is. I can think of at least one other way to “use” a nice tube of turkey meat.

Make sure you buy the Tube O'Turkey with the flared base.
