If you plan to keep it for more than 4 days, place the turkey on the freezer. The turkey will last up to 3 months in the freezer.
Cut the boned turkey into slices which your family is going to use. Cube slices for casseroles or soups. You can also put in the freezer the stock and the gravy.

Store leftover turkey properly to prevent food poisoning. From the time you take the turkey out of the oven, you have 2 hours to serve it, eat it, and then refrigerate or freeze the leftovers - the turkey, stuffing and gravy. Why just two hours? Because bacteria that cause food poisoning can multiply to dangerous levels on perishable food left longer than 2 hours at room temperature.
It is important to take out all of the stuffing from the turkey soon after you remove the bird from the oven. Extra stuffing can be kept hot in the oven at 200° F while you eat, or should be refrigerated within two hours of cooking. Cut the turkey meat off the bones.
Store leftovers properly to prevent bacterial growth. Large quantities should be divided into smaller portions and stored in several small or shallow covered containers. That’s because food in small amounts will get cold more quickly. The temperature of the refrigerator should be 40° F or slightly below.
Leftover turkey will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Stuffing and gravy should be used within 1 or 2 days. Reheat leftover gravy to a rolling boil or 165 ° F before serving.
For longer storage, package turkey in freezer paper or heavy-duty aluminum foil and freeze them.
