It will keep in the refrigerator for up to four days. Make sure to store the mashed potatoes separately to keep their texture intact.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze creamed turkey over mashed potatoes?<\/h3>\n<p>You can freeze creamed turkey and mashed potatoes for up to three months. To maintain the best texture, freeze the components separately. Creamed sauces and mashed potatoes can change consistency after freezing, so reheating them individually will result in a better dish.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make creamed turkey ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>You can make creamed turkey and mashed potatoes ahead of time by preparing each component and storing them in separate containers in the refrigerator. When you&#8217;re ready to enjoy the meal, reheat the dish as directed.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat creamed turkey and mashed potatoes?<\/h3>\n<p>To reheat creamed turkey, gently warm it in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. Reheat the mashed potatoes separately in the microwave or a saucepan on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk or butter to restore their creamy texture. If either component is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.<\/p>\n<h2>Creamed Turkey Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2077657\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Creamed-Turkey-Mashed-Potatoes_TOHD24_25173_SoniaBozzo_4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Creamed Turkey Over Mashed Potatoes Inside Plates\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Sonia Bozzo for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with creamed turkey?<\/h3>\n<p>In this recipe, we serve creamed turkey over mashed potatoes for a rich, comforting meal.
