How long should you keep leftovers in your fridge and freezer this Christmas

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Not long to go now until the big day arrives, when we tuck into turkey and all the trimmings for a festive feast. Most of us cook far too much for our Christmas dinner, meaning there is plenty of food for us to get creative with our leftovers.

Cooked turkey can be turned into delicious new meals like hearty sandwiches, savoury pies, warming soups or even a cheeky curry.

But before you start planning your 'Betwixtmas' menu, you'll need to ensure that you store your turkey carefully after dinner so it stays safe to eat.

According to BBC Good Food, cooked turkey can be stored in the fridge for up to four days, but it’s recommended to eat it within two days for optimum freshness.
