Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Turkey Tetrazzini expire?
Turkey Tetrazzini, once prepared, can last in the fridge for about 3-4 days. If stored properly, it can even last up to 6 months in the freezer. However, its best quality will be retained if consumed within 2 to 3 months of freezing.
How do you tell if Turkey Tetrazzini is bad?
To determine if your Turkey Tetrazzini has gone bad, check its smell, look, and taste. It might have spoiled if it has a sour smell, if mold is visible on the surface, or if it has an off-taste after slightly sampling it. Also, if the creamy sauce separates or becomes gritty, it's best to discard it.
Tips for storing Turkey Tetrazzini to extend shelf life
• Store your Turkey Tetrazzini in a shallow airtight container or heavy-duty freezer bags to prolong its shelf life. • Divide the Tetrazzini into individual portion sizes before freezing. This way, you can thaw only what you'll eat. • Always allow your cooked Turkey Tetrazzini to cool to room temperature before storing it to prevent the formation of harmful bacteria. • When defrosting frozen Turkey Tetrazzini, it's recommended to let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator. If in a hurry, you can also use a microwave's defrost setting. Once defrosted, consume within 24 hours for best taste.
