Maximize those three days! Day one: turkey sandwiches on soft bread with cranberry sauce. Day two: turkey salad with celery and grapes. Day three: turkey pot pie or a massive, cheesy casserole. You are the hero of your own leftover story.
Pro tip: reheat your turkey to an internal temperature of 165°F. Not for safety? Well, yes, for safety. But also, warm turkey just tastes better. Cold turkey is for sandwiches; hot turkey is for comfort.
And for the love of gravy, don’t leave your leftovers sitting out on the counter for more than two hours. If your dinner party ran long, that’s fine—just get the turkey in the fridge before you start cleaning dishes. Priorities, people.
