Can we still eat turkey leftovers

[honeylou42]

DH wanting to make a turkey curry for tea tonight with turkey leftovers from the fridge. Will they still be safe to eat, I'm unsure but DH thinks it will be fine 😬

Of course

If it was cooked on Xmas day I wouldn’t eat it now.

When did you cook it? It should be ok for 72 hours if it’s been in the fridge the whole time. If cooked Xmas day- I’d eat it if cooked Xmas eve then no

I would, absolutely.

I'd be happy with that, but probably wouldn't want there to then be leftover curry!

As long as you have kept it in the fridge at 5°C or below, it's absolutely fine.
We'll be having cold turkey today too, then picking the meat off the carcass and freezing it. Great in stir fries, curries and pies. Don't waste a scrap. Yes

Forget the random 'yes' at the end! Don't know where that came from!

Let your DH eat it

Yes, assuming it’s been refrigerated since.

Cooked chicken and turkey will keep a week in the fridge.

I'd eat it. I remember going to several NYE parties where the last of the Christmas turkey was served on the buffet so I think it will be fine today.

Yes. The cooked meat you buy from the supermarket will have been cooked days before it arrives and still has a long date on it. It will be fine as long as you've kept it refrigerated

We always do. Sits in our conservatory if a cold Xmas or the fridge if not. I tend to freeze everything we haven't eaten on about the 29th.

I gave 3 days for our turkey leftovers. I used most of it last night in a creamy pasta sauce, which I simmered for a while, just to be safe. Then binned the rest today.

As long as its been in the fridge it'll be fine :) just make sure any reheated food reaches a temp of above 82c

Cooked Xmas day and covered in fridge since

I always go with 3 to 4 days if in the fridge and smelling fine so made turkey and gammon pies for the freezer yesterday (meat cooked on Christmas Eve.) I would think it would be fine today but personally would use it up and not leave it longer.

What???? No way.

I'd say 3 days max, and only if it was cooked quickly and put back in fridge quickly. UK advice is to eat within 2 days. A week is insane. See www.womanandhome.com/food/how-long-does-cooked-chicken-last-in-the-fridge/

yes. 3-4 days is what they say is ok to keep cooked meat if stored correctly.

It’ll be fine to eat

It’ll be fine. I’ve got a fridge of leftovers still.

3 days when I worked in kitchens. No way would I eat week old cooked chicken.

Yeah I would, I did a beef curry last night with Christmas leftovers and it was lush.

It'll be fine today. We did a Turkey curry Boxing Day and Turkey in gravy with yorkshires and mash yesterday. I'll be freezing the rest of it today though as we won't be using any for a few days now.
