How Long Does Left Over Turkey Last?
Roasted turkey will last in the fridge for up to 4 days. The meat should be stored in the fridge within 2 hours of it being left out. The United States Department of Agriculture says to remember the “two-hour rule” for food safety as “all perishable items should be refrigerated within two hours of coming out of the oven or refrigerator.” The reason is that after two hours, perishable food such as turkey and stuffing enter what’s known as the Danger Zone, where foodborne bacteria can quickly multiply and cause the food to become unsafe to eat. “If foods have been left out at room temperature for more than two hours, discard items to prevent foodborne illness,” says the USDA, per their website.
Can You Freeze Leftover Turkey?
You can freeze your leftover turkey but it's best to do so once you are putting the leftovers away. Slice the meat from the turkey bone and wrap it in freezer paper or foil, then seal in plastic freezer bags. Press any air out of the bags.
Defrost the turkey overnight in the fridge before use.
