    Absolutely, the best thing about roasting a turkey is that you get to make all sorts of great meals with the left over turkey. Turkey tetrazinni, creamed turkey over toast, turkey pot pie, turkey and noodle bake with cheese, etc.

    26th Reheated Turkey

    27th Turkey Sandwiches

    28th Turkey Stew

    29th Finish off the stew

    30th Egg & chips.

    The easiest way to do this is to carve the turkey into slices. You can then re-heat the slices in gravy or chicken/ turkey stock.

    This method will always result in a moist and hot product.

    If you pre-cooked the bird tonight with the idea of serving it tomorrow, turkey is normallly served warm / tepid and it is the gravy that makes it hot.

    The reason is that a just-out -of the- oven turkey needs to rest at least 30 minutes before it can be carved and that result in warm / tepid meat.

    Yes, but safer to re-heat only once. And it can be frozen safely too (whether or not it was frozen uncooked, but not frozen pre-cooked), either on its own or in a prepared meal such as turkey and veg soup, turkey curry (fresh or jar of curry), casserole, etc. All of which can be safely reheated direct from the freezer or defrosted overnight in the fridge.

    Enjoy (& Merry Christmas:)))

    Of course you can. Ideally either microwave the turkey portions for "Leftover Xmas Dinner" (depending on quantities for about 2-3 minutes) with veg. and gravy, or use the turkey meat for dishes like Turkey a la King, Turkey curry etc..Oh, and cuz3bebb, you're probably thinking of salmonella, which is destroyed by adequate reheating!

    don't reheat the whole turkey just cut off what you need for Xmas dinner wrap it in tin foil put it in oven for 30 Min's then you still got most of the turkey left to do what you want with merry Christmas

    Yes. Just re-heat once. You can keep it in the fridge for 4-5 days.

    Course you can but take certain precautions. Make sure it has been stored covered in the fridge and ensure it is heated thoroughly. Enjoy.......oh Merry Christmas by the way.

    I ALWAYS reheat leftover meat - how else do you have leftovers? You can freeze it and use it weeks later, or just toss some in the fridge and use it up within 5 days.

    Yes as long as you have allowed it to cool in normal temperature and only reheat ONCE!
