Freeze for Later

You don’t need to eat all leftovers at once. Freezing portions saves time and gives you a mini holiday treat later

Use freezer-safe containers or bags to keep food fresh

Portion items individually for quick reheating

Label and date everything—use within two to three months

Keep turkey and gravy separate from sides to mix and match later

Make Leftovers New

A little creativity goes a long way. Turn yesterday’s meal into today’s excitement

Turkey: Shred it for sandwiches, stir into soup or cube for a turkey cranberry salad

Stuffing: Crisp in a waffle iron for breakfast, or press into mini quiches

Mashed Potatoes: Fry into golden potato cakes or use as a topping for shepherd’s pie

Share the Joy

Too much food? Send your guests home with leftovers in reusable containers. It’s an easy way to prevent waste and spread the holiday spirit

Keep it Safe

Proper storage keeps food fresh and prevents waste. Refrigerate leftovers within two hours of serving. Use airtight containers, and most leftovers stay good for three to four days. When in doubt, trust your senses—if it looks or smells off, toss it
