Stretch Your Thanksgiving Dollar

Tips for making the most of your Thanksgiving leftovers

Leftovers stretch your Thanksgiving dollar in so many ways. More than economical, leftovers create a huge time savings, too!

20 ideas for turkey leftovers >





Five tips to make the most of your turkey leftovers:

  • Purchase more than you need for Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey is often on sale during November, so take advantage of discounted prices. Count on a pound of uncooked turkey per person for Thanksgiving dinner. Purchase a larger turkey accordingly, depdending on how much you want remaining for future use.

  • Refrigerate or freeze cooled leftover turkey within two hours of cooking. Carve remaining turkey from the bones (do not refrigerate a whole cooked turkey), and store in air-tight zippered food storage bags or plastic food storage containers. Remove stuffing from turkey, cool, and refrigerate in a separate storage container.

  • Refrigerate cooked turkey for no longer than three days.

  • Freeze cooked turkey no longer than four months. To minimize freezer burn, make sure food is packaged in air-tight containers before freezing.

  • Chill leftover turkey in toted lunches with an ice block, or refrigerate when you get to work. Never let leftovers sit at room temperature.
