Q: My husband roasted a turkey breast on Christmas, so he'd have lunch for the week. We went to use it four days later for soup, and it looked like it had already gone bad. What's our best move next time? Trying to just get a smaller cut from the butcher or freezing some for soup and eating the rest in a few days? My husband always complains that he doesn't know what to have for lunch and this seemed like a good option!
