Reheating Thanksgiving Leftovers
When working with turkey it is important that it is handled properly when preparing, cooking, and storing. Below are tips on storing leftover turkey.
- Placing leftovers in shallow containers in the refrigerator allows leftover cooked food to cool more quickly.
- If you have a large quantity of leftover cooked turkey, it may be best to store some of it in the freezer as soon as possible.
- Leftover turkey should not be frozen after it has been in the refrigerator for several days because it will have deteriorated in quality beyond the point that is safe for long term storage.
