Sick of leftovers yet? Turkey sandwiches? Turkey soup? Turkey shakes?!? You probably have lots of leftovers. It’s been a few days since the holiday. Is that turkey in the fridge still good?

According to the Food and Drug administration, they may not be good to eat anymore. The food many have “Turnt”, which is a hick way of saying, the food is no longer any good. Here’s how long those leftovers will last for safe eating.

Since your leftovers may have hit the 4-day threshold, you may be tempted to give some of these to your pets. Please don’t. Most of our human food is not good for them. Best to throw away for the safety of all.
