Never frozen, but kept sealed and refrigerated.  "Use by 8/17" and it's 8/19.

If I cook them thoroughly, am I gonna die?

Cook thoroughly? I thought medium-rare was the way to do it these days. Or so the Friend's Food thread led me to believe.

Yep. Smell test. You're probably fine.

They're usually kind of conservative with those dates (don't wanna end up in court) and in my experience most stuff spoils starting about a week after the "use by" date on average.  However, just smell/look at it.  Bad turkey starts getting brown/black areas and smells like bad turkey.  

My guess is it's still fine.***

Yeah, but I did the smell test on a girl in 1997 and she passed, but she still gave me the clap.

Fool me once...

What exactly are you gonna do with those turkey breasts?  I have the feeling that the spoil date is irrelevant.

2 days? you are almost surely fine. But as everyone has said, smell test will tell you. 

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Go for it.

If you cook them, you die.

If you don't cook them, you still die.

Might as well cook them.

If they smell like shrimp, don't eat them. 

Lick it. If it tastes like salmonella, toss it. If it tastes like Thanksgiving dinner, you are high. 

Anything left in the wreath fund?

Those dates are very conservative.  I’d feel fine cooking it 5 days past that date.
