Our best tip: Freeze baked rolls up to a month. Thaw, wrap in foil and warm at 300°F for 10 minutes.
Holiday food safety: thaw turkey in the fridge, cook it to 165°F (74°C), bake stuffing in its own dish, and refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours. Use leftover turkey within 3 to 4 days or freeze it.
