Freezer Storage Tips for Thanksgiving Turkey and Stuffing
Q and A explains that cooked turkey chicken stuffing and gravy keep well in the freezer for about a month if there is no air in the package. Use plastic wrap tight then foil to seal. Frozen turkey in broth or gravy stays moist and air free, and leftovers can become a layered casserole with stuffing and gravy.
