Does anyone know for sure how long turkey leftovers are good for?

3 days is a good rule of thumb to follow with any leftover.make sure when you eat it that you have heated it up to at least 165 for a few seconds that will kill any bacteria that got started while it was cooling off in the fridge. if you know you'll not be able to eat the leftovers in that time then just freeze them in a ziplock bag and they'll keep until thawed for about 3 more weeks without losing quality

3 days in refreg... but you can freeze the turkey leftovers and use it at a later time. Or take it out as needed for salads-sandwich etc.

pick all the meat off the bones, put in plastic containers, pour turkey broth over it and freeze. you have meat for turkey noodles or anything else without having to cook again. stays good in freezer for a long time.

i admire making turkey sandwiches they r so yummy! you purely take your determination of bread toast it in the toaster and then upload some ketchup to the two facets and put in some turkey! it may sound unusual yet have faith me it does not style unusual :) and its great quickly in the experience that your in a hurry...and yet another quite sturdy element is turkey soup...you boil the bones to make the inventory and then upload the turkey besides the fact that spices u like and a few vegetables and if u choose some vegetable spice too

Probably a week. Unless you freeze it. Then it is good for months!!!
