Thanksgiving Leftover Guidelines

Be sure to refrigerate your Thanksgiving Day leftovers in shallow containers within two hours of cooking! If you have done this properly, follow the following guidelines for leftovers:

• Use refrigerated cooked turkey within three to four days.
• Use stuffing and gravy within one to two days.
• Eat leftover casseroles and cooked vegetables within three to four days.
• Finish fruit and cream pies within two to three days and cheesecake within seven days.
• Regardless of how many days have passed: If in doubt, throw it out!
• Reheat leftovers to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Bring leftover gravy to a steady boil on the stove before serving it a second time.
