ham, turkey and dressing into small ziplock containers and I freeze those and take them out as needed. I'm going to be taking the turkey carcass out today and make and can turkey stock. The ham and bone I'll use for split pea soup and/or beans. The turkey I'll use for turkey and dumplings, turkey pot pies and turkey noodle soup.

The veggies are gone as is the chocolate pie (always the first to go). The minced meat, peach and butternut squash pies are all about half finished but I'm expecting company today so I'm guessing that will put a serious dent in all three.

It is a lot of food but by Sunday evening it will all be either eaten or frozen for later use.
