How long does cooked turkey last?
Cooked turkey will stay good in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, and can last in the freezer for up to 4 months. I typically freeze any leftover turkey after the first few days, and I package it in 2-3 cup portions so that I can thaw exactly what I need for the recipe I’m making.

How do you store leftover turkey?
The easiest way to store leftover turkey is to slice it from the bird and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you’re planning to freeze your turkey, I recommend cutting it into bite sized pieces and storing it in freezer bags until you’re ready to use it.
How do you reheat leftover turkey?
The simplest way to reheat leftover turkey is to place the slices in a baking dish covered with foil, then bake at 275 degrees F for 5 minutes per pound, or until a thermometer registers 130 degrees F.
