I am defrosting a large turkey in the fridge. Once it is thoroughly cooked is it safe to freeze leftovers?

yes, once cooked it wil be fine to refreeze and save for later use. freeze soon within like a day or two tops. wrap in wax paper or put in baggie then put in a freezer bag for added protection and to prevent freezer burn. slice and put in packages that you will use at one time. say 5 slices etc. or a leg...just not all in one. so you ony are thawing a meals worth at a time.

Yes. I would not recommend hanging on to them longer then 3-4 weeks though as fully cooked foods in my freezer (which is only a year old) seem to take on an off flavor after too long.

Cool on the counter completely before freezing.

yes, but will there be any leftovers after turkey sandwiches? yum!

Don't forget to brine that turkey before cooking!

Sure is. I love a good turkey sandwich with mayo!

Yes, People make tv dinners and potpies all of the time. I do and it hasn't made us sick yet!
