How to Freeze Thanksgiving Leftovers
You might not have caught this before, but I’m very big into being as zero waste as possible. Tomorrow I’m hosting 20 people for Thanksgiving & I’m trying to curb food waste as much as possible. So I thought I’d share some articles I refer back to year after year.
Turkey: Freeze this in small portions with gravy to maintain moisture. It can be stored for up to four months.
Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, and Gravy: Store these in airtight containers. They can be frozen for up to three to four months.
This Taste of Home article details 18 Thanksgiving dishes & how to freeze them and for how long.
And here’s an article for creative ways for using holiday meal leftovers in other dishes.
Get to Know: Sunchokes
These are a tuber, grown underground like a potato, native to North America and were cultivated by indigenous peoples for many centuries. The mildly sweet, crunchy, and nutty edible tuber is highly nutritious and, unlike potatoes, contains no starch, but rather carbohydrate in a form that is metabolized into natural sugar.
Sunchokes require a careful washing before cooking because dirt can get trapped in all those knobby bits.
You don't need to peel them before cooking them, though you can if you like (this skin is papery and thin). Once washed, cut them into thick slices or chunks and prepare them the same way you would potatoes.
Sunchokes can be substituted in any recipe calling for potatoes. More tips for this unusual veggie here.
