If I carve the Thanksgiving bird several hours, maybe even half a day, in advance, will the meat dry out? Also, what's the best way to reheat so that it isn't dry?
(Before you point it out - yes, I know I shouldn't even be thinking of carving it in advance. But I am, for my own good reasons - just asking for advice.)

Yes, it probably will dry out. Be sure you carve it when it's not blazing hot. That is, let it rest 30 min. after removing from the oven. This allows the juices to be reabsorbed into the meat.
And make extra gravy.

an old friend of mine had the answer to that:
He removed the skin from the turkey starting from the backbone very carefully keeping it in one piece. Then he sliced the bird and put the "slipcover" skin back on it tucking it under the bird. He wrapped the bird on the platter with aluminum foil. He put the turk in the fridge til about an hour before serving time and reheated it.
We were only doing about a dozen birds for a banquet!!! No way to slice them all just at serving time!!!

If you keep it covered it shouldnt dry out. reheat it in a turkey roaster....it locks in the moisture...

Have the DC belt way boys on both sides of the party's pardon them like they do with Turkey on genocide of Christian Armenians, Greeks and others.
They DC boys will take the money they take from us and give to Turkey and then get it back in their pockets.
The Turks gut heads off and then send them to the desert to dry out and die.
