Thanksgiving 2008: It’s Time to Use It or Lose It

by Heather on November 30, 2008

It is time to use ‘em or lose ‘em. Here are some guidelines, and recipes for using up Thanksgiving leftovers. Substitute turkey in any of the chicken recipes below.

  • Turkey should be frozen or used within 2 – 6 days.
  • Frozen cooked turkey should be used within 2 months and should be cooked thoroughly, immediately after thawing.
  • If you have gravy, leftover mashed potatoes, or stuffing they should have been used within 1 – 2 days after Thanksgiving. Toss them out.
  • Cranberry sauce can be stirred into yogurt, served over ice cream, or it makes a nice accompaniment to pork chops, ham, chicken, or fish. It should be used within 7 days. (The sugar acts as a preservative.)
