How Long Can I Safely Eat Thanksgiving
Leftovers?
One
of the best parts of Thanksgiving Day is the leftovers. I really enjoy having leftover turkey. Here
are some tips for safely storing leftovers. 
Refrigerate leftovers within two
hours of cooking in shallow containers, about two inches deep. This allows food to cool quickly and evenly. If food has been out more than two hours, toss
it. Here are some other tips.
·
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
