Use Those Leftovers

When you roast a turkey for Thanksgiving or other holidays, remove the meat within 2 days. Chop or dice, then package into hard-sided freezer containers. Label, seal, and freeze up to 3 months. To use, let stand in refrigerator overnight, then use in recipes from casseroles to sandwich spreads. Use the bones to make stock.
