Thanksgiving turkey leftovers? Try these easy recipes
One of the best parts about having a bountiful feast on Thanksgiving is all the food that is left behind.
As you celebrate bounty and blessings, it’s important to be mindful of food waste by giving those Thanksgiving leftovers another chance at greatness.
First things first: Store your leftovers properly to keep them safe and fresh. Stock them in airtight containers then refrigerate for up to four days, or freeze them to prolong their shelf life for a few weeks.
