After yesterday’s big Thanksgiving meal, today we offer tips
for what to do with all those leftovers. When reheating, move food out of
plastic containers even if they are BPA-free. The plastic can burn and
chemicals can get into into your food.
Refrigerate leftovers no later than two hours after putting
them on the table in shallow storage containers that are two-inches tall or
less so it can cool down quickly.
Discard stuffing and gravy within one to two days. Due to
the moisture and high temperature, they can easily be a breeding ground for
bacteria.
Finally, remove turkey from the bone and store in the fridge
for 3-4 days max. That makes this year’s turkey deadline on Monday, December
2nd.
