Thaw the meat and feel the turkey breast. It should feel similar to a fresh turkey breast. If it feels dry and leathery, it is no longer good.

Check the date. For best results, a turkey breast should not be frozen for more than a year.
Step 4
Thaw the meat and smell the turkey breast. If it smells abnormal or sour, do not eat it.
