How long can you keep Thanksgiving leftovers?

Thanksgiving leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for 3-4 days after the Thanksgiving meal. Be sure to chill the leftovers within 2 hours after the meal. Be sure to break the turkey down into smaller pieces and not store as a whole turkey. Store the thanksgiving leftovers in small containers or zip top bags so they chill quickly. If a dish is still warm when placed into the refrigerator, vent the container to allow the heat to escape.
