1. Remove all the stuffing from the bird, store in an airtight container and refrigerate separately from the turkey. Use within a couple days.
  2. Remove all turkey from the carcass. Package the meat in freezer bags (meal sized portions). Refrigerate what you can use within the next couple days then freeze whatever is left.
  3. Save some cooked turkey (refrigerated) to dice and make into meat pies. Do this within a couple days of cooking the turkey. Once pies are made, they can be frozen. The ready made pie shells you can buy in the grocery store turn out just fine if you don’t have the time to make your own.
  4. Wrap the carcass in plastic or put in a clean plastic bag. Refrigerate. Use this within a couple days to make turkey stock or soup. You can also freeze this to use later.
