Plan For Holiday Leftovers The holiday season feasting days will soon be over for another year but in some homes the turkey seems to last forever. This year, why not be a creative cook and plan an innovative recycling job on your leftover foods? Many homemakers are guilty of using all the leftovers for every meal until everybody in the family is sick of them. Why not try using just one or two leftovers for a meal and plan food purchases to include something “fresh” for each meal? If you ate going to serve the tur key for a second dinner, plan a ve getable or salad that did not make an appearance on the holiday groaning board. When recycling the sweet potatoes or squash, serve them with another meat, per haps ham or sausage. It is amazing how much faster and less painful ly leftovers disappear when you use this technique. If you plan to freeze your left over turkey, remove the meat from the bones before freezing. Divide the large slices from the small slic es and freeze separately. As you pick the small pieces of meat from the turkey bones, separate the pieces into amounts that you can use in one recipe and either freeze SAWDUST a SHAVINGS Pennsylvania’s Largest Sawmill Offers Hardwood Bi-Products At FACTORY DIRECT PRICES!

For best eating quality, plan to use these leftovers within one month. For longer storage try cov ering the turkey meat with broth or gravy. Liquid keeps air from get ting to the meat and lengthens the storage life to six months. Frozen reheated turkey may not have the delicious taste of first-day turkey, but it certainly is better than eating turkey four or five days in a row. Dressing or stuffing is one holi day leftover that must be handled with care. It should be removed from the turkey as soon as possi ble after it comes out of the oven. Never leave a stuffed turkey sit at room temperature. Place any left over dressing into a covered con tainer and refrigerate. Plan to use it within three days. When prepar ing it for another meal, reheat just enough for that meal, not all the stuffing you have on hand. Freeze what you cannot use within three days. Cooked dressing will keep three to four weeks in your freez er. It can be reheated without thawing or you can thaw it in your refrigerator but never at room temperature.
