Notes
Leftover turkey breast can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze it tightly wrapped and use within 2-3 months for best quality. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F. If using a skin-on turkey breast, consider placing it under the broiler for a few minutes for crispy skin.
