Keeping a smoked Turkey warm
Posted on 12/16/20 at 3:46 pm

The company is giving us smoked turkeys this year (thanks boss). The latest I can pick it up is afternoon on the 24th.
How can I keep it so it’s ready to eat on the 25th at lunch? Can I keep covered in the oven on warm? Maybe add some liquid so it doesn’t dry?
Or do I refrigerate and warm the next morning?

Refrigerate and warm the next morning:
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place the cold (not room-temperature) turkey in a roasting pan, breast-side down. This allows the fat from underneath the bird to drip down while it heats up, ensuring a moist, tender breast. Cover the turkey with foil and place in oven. Drop oven temperature to 275°F. You’ll want to reheat your turkey for around 5 minutes per pound. So a 10lb turkey would need to reheat for around 50 minutes. Use a meat thermometer before removing to ensure an internal temperature of 165°F.

I assume the turkey you pick up will already be chilled, no? I doubt they'd give you a piping hot turkey, huh?
Like others said, refrigerate and reheat in oven the next morning.

Personal opinion:
I would only reheat to 140 - 145. It's already cooked and you are just reheating.
Anything higher and it's going to dry out.

100% refrigerate and reheat the next day. A rule of thumb would be you would need to keep the turkey at 130 or above to make sure it remains safe for a time longer than 4 hours.

Oh, do you plan on hosting a holiday gathering?

We always cook the bird a day or two early, debone the turkey and let it refrigerate in its juices/butter. Easy to reheat, can add salt/ spice as needed, never dry. You lose the presentation, but the birds always awesome.

We were actually offered the choice of smoked or fried. I decided to get the fried and give rehearing a shot.
Bringing it to my parents so they don’t have to worry about cooking one

FYI- great turkey is super easy. Roast w butter (1.5-2 sticks)celery and onions in carcass. Season w salt, black and red pepper, and garlic powder, and cook per instructions on bag. Debone and soak in juices. Taste it, add spice as needed.
Not pretty, but awesome.

If it happens to still be warm or even if it’s wrapped in foil when you pick it up, wrap the whole thing in Saran/plastic wrap on the outside of the foil and then stick it in the fridge. Just add some butter when reheating.

Do you ever smoke whole racks of ribs and then freeze for later?
If so, do you just double wrap in saran wrap?

If I’m going to freeze then they are getting vacuum sealed.
