How do you reheat a whole deep fried turkey?

Answer 1

I probably wouldn't try to reheat a whole turkey. The reason is that reheating such a large bird would probably involve a lot more heat than I would want to expose the white met (turkey breasts) too, particularly since turkey tends to be very dry as it is. Then there's the fact that the drumsticks and wings, due to their size, might also dry out. Overcooking just makes the situation worse. However, if you must do it, I would probably take the bird out of the fridge for at least an hour before reheating to get the carcass as close to room temperature as possible, I'd put some liquid, stock, wine, etc. in the bottom of the pan to keep the moisture level as high as possible, and I'd make sure and keep some fat on the turkey breasts (butter, flavored olive oil, etc.) to keep them basted and as moist as possible.

What I would personally do is dismantle the turkey breast, bone the turkey breasts, separate the thighs from the drumsticks, and either use the wings and rest of the carcass to make stock, or discard them. I would only reheat the amount of turkey I thought my family would eat that sitting. If the turkey breast is going to be served with a sauce or a gravy, I would heat that, remove it from the flame, and then place slices of the breast in it, or ladle it on to the room temperature turkey slices, and allow the remaining heat from the gravy to warm the turkey breast. I would probably rewarm the dark meat (thighs and drumsticks) in a pan in the oven, but I'd place the drumsticks on the inside, and the thighs on the outside so the thicker pieces got more heat.

Answer 2

anyway you feel like it, but a nice way to prevent it from drying out, would be to splash a few drops of water or stock over the turkey and grill it, or in america, they would call it a salamnder.

Answer 3

The best way would be to warm it in the microwave on 50% power or maybe in a toaster oven on low heat. This will help the turkey warm without continuing to cook it or burn it.

Answer 4

Heat an oven to 350 degrees. Put the turkey in a baking dish or pan. Heat for approx. 30 minutes.

Answer 5

well to heat up a cooked turkey you need a oven.

Answer 6

cook it !
