Turkey Preparation

** Turkey ** Leftovers & Reheating

Storing Your Leftovers*

Discard any turkey, stuffing, and gravy left out at room temperature longer than 2 hours; 1 hour in temperatures above 90 °F.   Divide leftovers into smaller portions. Refrigerate or freeze in covered shallow containers for quicker cooling.   Use refrigerated turkey and stuffing within 3 to 4 days. Use gravy within 1 to 2 days.   If freezing leftovers, use within 2 to 6 months for best quality.

Reheating Your Turkey*

Cooked turkey may be eaten cold or reheated.

In the Oven

Set the oven temperature no lower than 325 °F.   Reheat turkey to an internal temperature of 165 °F. Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature.   To keep the turkey moist, add a little broth or water and cover.

In the Microwave Oven

Cover your food and rotate it for even heating. Allow standing time.   Check the internal temperature of your food with a food thermometer to make sure it reaches 165 °F.   Consult your microwave oven owner's manual for recommended times and power levels.
