Freeze Turkey! Or should I just waste you here and now?

.


Here are some tips as to how you should freeze turkey and other Thanksgiving leftovers.


"When deciding which foods to throw in the freezer, remember that if something was already frozen once after cooking (like the gravy was made ahead and frozen), I would advise not doing it again. And try to pack each food in the smallest possible airtight container to prevent freezer burn.

Now let's walk down each item on the Thanksgiving dinner table and see what can be frozen and what should be eaten up:

1. Turkey: YES
2. Mashed Potatoes: YES, with some exceptions
3. Gravy: YES, with some exceptions
4. Cranberry Sauce: YES
5. Stuffing: YES
6. Green Bean Casserole: NO
7. Pumpkin, Sweet Potato, or Squash Dishes: YES
8. Rolls: YES
9. Salads: NO
10. Pie: YES, but it depends on the type of pie"
