(This is an updated post from last year)
Okay yes it’s a sandwich BUT, it’s to illustrate a point… and yes it’s a horrible photo, but I’ve been learning a lot and I hate to make food to just photograph it.
A lot of people aren’t keen on freezing cooked meat. Once it’s been cooked, you have killed off potentially dangerous bacteria. Take your leftover turkey and slice it. Once it’s totally cool, place it in freezer bags or containers. If you want to have a couple of slices here and there for sandwiches, or noodle bowls or salads, place sheets of greaseproof paper between the slices of turkey as they freeze. If you’re short of space (I have two kids one dog and a three drawer freezer), you can take the frozen pieces and transfer them to a bag which can squish into smaller spaces.
The meat can be defrosted by sitting on a cooling rack or plate and eaten within a day. This turkey had been in my freezer for two months before I added it to an avocado baguette. And it was great and cheap and easy.
