Samples were packaged under vacuum into polyamide-polypropylene pouches, cooked using sous vide technology (65 degrees C/40 min), chilled at 3 degrees C and stored at 4 and 12 degrees C for 5 weeks. Microbial (TMAB, lactic acid bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, moulds and yeasts, Salmonella spp., L. monocytogenes, Cl. perfringens), physical-chemical (pH, water activity, TBARS, L*a*b* colour, texture profile analysis and shear force) and sensory (appearance, colour, odour, flavour, juiciness, chewiness and acceptance) parameters were determined. According to the results of mesophilic bacterial counts and sensory analysis, the shelf life of the sous vide turkey cutlet, cooked at 65 degrees C for 40 min, was determined as 28 days at 4 degrees C while 15 days at 12 degrees C. Salmonella spp., L. monocytogenes, Cl. perfringens were not detected in turkey cutlet samples during the storage period. It was detected that sous vide cooked provided convenient ready-to-eat foods and a long shelf life for turkey cutlet.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSous vide (SV)StorageTurkey CutletCookingFood PreservationArticle10.1590/1806-9061-2017-0571201182-s2.0-85046075082Q3WOS:000431302500001Q4
