If you’re wondering how much longer you have to snack on that leftover turkey and stuffing – time is up!
Assuming that food was prepared last Thursday, today is day 4 and most of it has to go. Here are the safe eating guidelines from the ADA’s Strategic Communications Team:
• Refrigerated cooked turkey: 3 to 4 days
• Stuffing and gravy: 1 to 2 days
• Stuffing and gravy: 1 to 2 days
• Casseroles and cooked vegetables: 3 to 4 days
• Fruit and cream pies: 2 to 3 days
Even if those leftovers look, smell or even taste okay – it doesn’t mean they are. Pathogenic bacteria don’t usually affect the taste, smell or appearance and can really make you sick.
