is there any safe way to re-heat cooked turkey.?

Put it right back into the oven at about 250 degrees. Make sure it is covered to keep in moisture and that there is moisture in the bottom of the pan. You can also make the gravy ahead the day before and reheat the turkey in the gravy so that it's guaranteed to stay nice and moist.

Invest in a thermometer and make sure that the temp of the turkey is 180 before serving.

I'm assuming that you mean to carve the turkey before you reheat it... you do not want to reheat the entire turkey intact. It will be horrible dry.

To do a turkey the night before is done all the time. It largely depends on what time xmas day you plan to eat, lunch or dinner. For lunch time, put the thawed turkey in as late as you can the night before. I would set the temp at around 250 - 300 and let it slow cook until lunch. For a dinner, just put it in early in the morning at 300-350 until dinner. Check it though and if it looks like it's cooking too fast, then just reduce the temp. I don't think I would reheat the turkey though because it won't taste the same. But if this is your plan, then you can cook it a while before xmas day and just freeze it. Then recook as normally would until it reaches a minimum or 165 degrees F. Hope this helps.

My mother used to cook the Xmas turkey the night before Xmas (or Thanksgiving) but .. she would only cook it half way then refrigerate it; then early the next morning, put it back in the oven and finish cooking it. I have six brothers and two sisters and none of us ever got sick and my mothers's turkeys always came out tender and moist.

Here's a crock pot recipe that my family uses every year after Thanksgiving to use the leftover turkey.

Ingredients:

Turkey

Breadcrumbs (regular - not italian)

Chicken or Turkey Broth

Onions

Celery

Butter

Cook your onions & celery in butter until the veggies are soft and translucent. Chop up or pull apart your turkey (dark & white meat) and put in a crock pot. Add your butter, onions and celery. Pour in 1 - 2 cans of broth (depending upon how much turkey you have. Don't cover it completely. The goal here is to moisten the meat.) Pour in approximately 1 cup of breadcrumbs. Mix everything together and then season with season salt, garlic powder and black pepper. Cook on low for approximately 4 - 6 hours. Check your mixture as it cooks - add more broth if you want it thinner or add more breadcrumbs if you want it thicker. Serve on your favorite bun or hard roll.

As long as it isn't sitting around at room temperature for days, it's OK to reheat cooked turkey. You can use the oven or microwave. You may find that the oven will dry it out a bit if you don't cover it in a container with a bit of water or poultry stock.

Bake turkey the day before,allow to cool enough to debone the entire bird in sections. Wrap well in foil or big baggies, next day place turkey pieces on a microwave safe platter and heat, covered with some of the juices, to keep it moist.

as long as that's cooled without put off and defrosted wisely, you will desire to be positive. I mean, a cold cut back is basically cooked chilly meat...what you opt to circumvent is nutrition that continues to be interior the "threat zone" for extremely long--40 5-a hundred forty five F. that's while any bacteria present develop the quickest. Cooking above a hundred forty five kills those bacteria, yet freezing and refrigeration basically slows bacterial improve. so as long because of the fact the turkey is cooked good, cooled as without put off as plausible, and would not linger at above 40 F, you would be positive.

If reheating turkey, reheat only once, to a measured temperature of 165 or higher. Turkey is tastier if reheated in a recipe that adds moisture, such as in broth , gravy or pies

you said you want to cook safe, so that means no microwaving? You could set your oven on "warm" and put the turkey in it for a while, checking it every 10 minutes to see if it is hot enough yet.

My sister does this all the time just cut the meat off, put on a metal plate or dish, put in the oven for about 10 mins. I wouldnt reheat a whole one myself.
