HOW TO STORE COOKED TURKEY

Care must be taken to properly store leftover cooked turkey. The leftover turkey should be carved from the bone and the stuffing removed. All leftovers should be stored in shallow containers and refrigerated or frozen within two hours of cooking. NTF recommends that cooked, sliced turkey reach 40 degrees F within two hours or less.

When reheating, be sure the turkey reaches a temperature of 165 degrees F.

Turkey gravy should be used within 1 to 2 days, be sure to bring the gravy to a boil before serving.

Refrigerated Storage at 35-40 degrees F.:
3 to 4 days

Freezer Storage at 0 degrees F or Below:
3 to 4 months
