• Step 3: Repeat with the remaining triangles.

• Rotisserie Chicken - make them any time of year with any leftover rotisserie chicken you may have.
• Green Onions - always taste good as a little something extra.
• Green Beans - why not?

How to store leftovers

Typically, when you make these roll ups, they're gone as soon as you take them out of the oven.

However, if you do happen to have a few remaining you should store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.

Mel's kitchen notes

Depending on when you cooked the turkey will determine how long you can keep the roll ups for. If you cooked your turkey 4 days ago then you might want to make sure the roll ups all get eaten and not keep them afterward.
