Keeping smoked meats

[Katie Meadow]

Made a couple of opportunistic buys this morning that will be used next Sunday to make my Turkey Gumbo. One is a smoked turkey wing, and the other is a couple of smoked duck sausages that looked good. Can I keep these smoked meats in the fridge for the next week or should they go into the freezer?

Kinda depends on the packaging. Holding smoked meats for a week in the fridge is fine, but unless they're vaccuum sealed, they have a tendency to stink up the fridge. Esp if you have dairy, fresh cheeses, or other delicate items in the fridge, you might want to put them in a sealed zipper bag & stash in the freezer.
