How do you keep a turkey from drying out after carving it?

Question

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.)

Answer 1

after you cut up the turkey, put the meat back in the pan in its juices and cover it. that will keep the meat moist. when you reheat it just pop back into the oven on low or if your in a hurry on 300 for a half an hour or so.

Answer 2

Slice up the turkey & place it in a dish with some chicken broth. When you reheat it, keep it covered in broth & a piece of aluminum foil. You can then transfer the reheated, moist turkey, to a platter to serve for dinner.

Answer 3

Our grandmother, after we carved the turkey, she had us cover it in a towel, like a dish towel or two. Seemed to of worked. I even took one and covered the plate that had meat left on it. This was a lady who grew up during the depression.

Answer 4

You had better make good and sure it's as moist as it can be before you carve it in the first place. That's about all you can do to make sure it's moist for serving, cuz that meat's gonna dry out regardless.
