Captioned The Frugal Mother her video Let viewers know that “freezing some of your leftover produce and Thanksgiving turkey will help you make new meals in no time!”

Angela said she threw a Thanksgiving dinner for three but “bought enough to feed an army.”

Because she was given so much food to feed her few guests, she said she had “tons of leftover turkey” and produce that she didn’t use in preparing Thanksgiving dinner.

“So let me show you what I’m doing and producing with some of my Thanksgiving leftovers to make up for it and turn it into something different in the weeks to come,” Angela said in her video.

Angela showed off a bag of frozen food and said she sliced ​​her leftover turkey breast “really thin” and put it in “two separate bags”.

To save money for the weeks after Thanksgiving, Angela said she uses her frozen turkey slices in soup.

“Use it in place of a chicken noodle soup like you would a turkey noodle soup,” she said.

Angela also noted that she doesn’t have to worry about the turkey she’s keeping from drying out because she “adds it to a broth and liquid so it rehydrates it.”

“And I can shred it or chop it and it’s perfect for a soup so you don’t have to worry about eating all your leftover turkey right away,” she said.

After Angela sliced ​​the turkey and bagged it for freezing, she said she then focused on her leftover undercooked produce.

She chopped up the fresh vegetables and put them in ziplock bags, “and I’m going to freeze those,” she said.

The leftover produce, which she froze, was a white onion, which she diced and bagged, some celery, carrots, and potatoes, which she said she peeled and diced.

She said she’ll likely use the diced white onion for “just about anything.”

Angela said all the vegetables she saved can be used in “soups and stews”.

She even noted that the veggies are “all ready to just throw in.”

In her video, Angela also revealed that she had leftover rosemary, sage and thyme.

She said she left the herbs in the wrappers they came in, although she wrapped a paper towel around them inside the wrapper “just to help absorb extra moisture.”

BE PREPARED

Angela said the herbs are perfect for adding to soups and stews “down the road”.

By freezing those leftover Thanksgiving items, she said she has everything she needs to make “that perfect thing like chicken noodle soup or stew or whatever” because it’s all rolled up and “ready to use.”

“And there’s no waste,” Angela added of her frozen Thanksgiving leftovers, which she said she’ll be using in the weeks to come.
