You can get answers to your questions! The USDA’s Meat and Poultry Hotline is available Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. Leftovers are arguably one of the best parts of Thanksgiving. For leftovers to be safe to keep, they must be refrigerated within two hours of serving or have been kept hot at or above 140 F or cold below 40 F. |
