Turkey, Turkey and more Turkey!!!

Tis the season for leftovers
Leftover turkey is great for making sandwiches, casseroles and salads.

Enjoy but be sure to always practice food safety with leftovers. According to the Food and Drug Administration, you should eat refrigerated leftovers within four days. Leftovers should also be stored in the refrigerator within 2 hours after cooking is completed. Why just 2 hours? Because bacteria that cause food poisoning can
multiply to undesirable levels on perishable foods left at room temperature for longer than 2 hours.
