Notes
Prep Ahead of Time - Once they have fully cooled, you can keep them in an airtight container for about 2 days at room temperature and up to a week in the fridge.
Freezer - once fully cooled, place them in a freezer bag, press out as much air as you can, and you can keep them in the freezer for 2-3 months.
Serving suggestion - We highly recommend making them with our Turkey Chili it is our favorite! They also make a great Thanksgiving dinner side dish.
