Notes: This is not an exact science. I usually make sure the turkey is not carved to death, leaving plenty of meat on it. I double bag the carcass in plastic and throw in freezer. We enjoy the other left overs for a few days, then whatever gravy, stuffing and mashed potatoes remain, I throw them in a baggy and toss it into the freezer as well.
