Leftovers are one of the best parts of a big meal, if they're stored safely.
Rules
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours of cooking
- Divide large amounts into shallow containers so they cool quickly
- Carve turkey off the bone before refrigerating
- Eat refrigerated leftovers within 3 to 4 days, or freeze them
- Reheat leftovers to 165°F
