Sandwiches, pie, stock and safe storage.
If leftover turkey is part of Christmas for your house, order a size above the minimum serve. The second meal is often as popular as the first.
Turkey and ham sandwiches, a creamy pie, and a simple broth from the bones if you cooked a whole bird or crown are the three most useful paths. Our recipes section walks through pie and stock in detail.
Cool leftovers promptly, refrigerate in shallow containers, and use within a few days or freeze portions you will not eat. Reheat until piping hot.
If you ordered a crown or joint, stretch leftovers with leeks, mustard, pastry or stock vegetables rather than expecting a second whole roast.
Use within a few days, and sooner if your fridge is busy with other Christmas food.
Yes. Freeze in meal-sized portions and label the date.
