How Long Did The Leftovers Last?

ECBG — Wed, 30 Nov 2016 05:29:11 GMT

I finished the last of the turkey tonight!

Turkey is almost my favorite meal, I only make it once a year, and I love that type of turkey sandwich (hate deli turkey). Also, it's nice to have leftovers while you're decorating. Only, this time I couldn't get him going!

DH started grilling himself pork chops as of last night! LOL!

@ECBG That's funny, already on pork chops. We are still eating leftovers. Made turkey soup tonight, yum.....

Will freeze the rest of the turkey tomorrow. Look forward to eating that down the road.

I served almost 40 people and made two 24 lb turkeys. They were beautiful birds with a ton of breast meat on them.

i gave left overs to anyone who wanted them. Then I packaged up the big nice slices for sandwitches for my DH. There was not a lot left.

i made turkey broth with the bones and small pieces of meat and turned that Into turkey and dumplings.

i made potato soup with the left over mashed potatoes. My DH will not eat left overs, so I have to turn them into something else.

By Saturday, there were no traces of leftovers. I did freeze some of the new make over foods.

Was just the 2 of us this year, quiet Thanksgiving in Montauk....did a 2 1/4 lb boneless turkey breast. Had leftovers Saturday for dinner, and a sandwich for lunch yesterday, and all the turkey is gone.

I do ham, not turkey.

I have a beautiful ham bone that will go in the slow cooker for ham & bean soup!

So I guess that can be considered a left-over.

Everything else is about gone.

Please be aware that fresh turkey is safe to eat for only 3-4 days after it is roasted if refrigerated.

if you want to keep it longer, it must be frozen.

Still got 'em -- in the form of a Thanksgiving dump casserole that is being reheated a few times. I'll eventually freeze what we don't finish.

Will finish tonight the last of what I kept aside in the fridge (dinner and desert) but still have enough for one monstrous plate (or for several small ones) of everything in my freezer. Meal only no sweets. I will save and eat in a couple of weeks to get me through until Christmas dinner. We have so much at Thanksgiving and we all leave with tons. My sister-in-law will throw out anything remaining so she will not eat after the one meal. Glad to help out.

Did? Still!

We have blown through a couple of the dishes and I have vacuum sealed and frozen a bunch of stuff already. I have some mashed potatoes in the freezer that I need to push out of the Lock & Lock so I can vacuum seal those. Still some more stuff in the refrigerator. Thank goodness for Lock & Lock, to keep things fresh longer.

We repeated our meal on Friday. On Saturday I made a huge turkey pot pie, and a small bowl of turkey salad. Everything from Thanksgiving is gone now. I cooked a pot of beans yesterday, and today was tomato soup and grilled cheese.
