Leftover Smoked Turkey?

[Stone]

Silly question -- if I smoke a turkey breast or two on Sunday, will they still be good on Monday evening? (Assume proper fridgeration and stuff.)

 

[Doug D]

Should be no problem at all. I would actually think you'd be good until Wednesday.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> will they still be good on Monday evening <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I certainly think so.

I made some smoked turkey salad sandwiches with mine using BRYAN S Chipotle Mayo, onions, celery, lots of pepper. Really good stuff.

If you need it to last very long, vacuum seal it in bags and freeze it. Meat smoked and sealed will last a long time and come back out of the bag almost as good as when it went in.

Without sealing and freezing I generally toss my Q after 3 days. For whatever reason, I find it looses allot of flavor, dries out, and gets tough in a few days.

At least three days easy. Lunch and dinner the first day, sandwiches the next day, make soup out of it the third day.

3 days.....uh oh.. i just had some leftover turky from last fri......oh well. smelled and tasted good.. gave it to my girls as well.......so far they are not pukin..ill keep you updated if status changes

I think it's still healthy to eat after 3 days, but it's just not very tasty after that.

 

[Chris Finney]

Mords, I eat it till it's gone. A week is usually my limit. You skirted that one.
