Make-ahead, storage and useful substitutions

A wide skillet prevents steaming. Pat moist vegetables dry and add delicate items only after the potatoes have browned. Use sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts or stuffing cubes in the hash. ^[1]

Refrigerate crispy turkey and potato breakfast hash within two hours in shallow covered containers. Count storage time from when the original Thanksgiving food was first refrigerated, not from when it was transformed into this recipe. Eat refrigerated cooked turkey and other perishable leftovers within three to four days, or freeze sooner. Reheat hot portions to 165°F and discard food that has spent too long at room temperature. ^[2]
