How to Reheat Your Fully Cooked Entrée

Oven times may vary based on oven type, accuracy of temperature, or the amount of food you're reheating. If using a microwave, stop and stir every minute or so.

Fully Cooked Whole Organic, Smoked, and Roasted Turkeys

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.  
  2. Take your turkey from the refrigerator and remove the plastic wrapping. Let it sit at room temperature for about one hour—the starting temperature before cooking should be between 35–40°F. 
  3. In a roasting pan, pour 1 cup of stock (recommended chicken stock) or water.  
  4. Place the turkey on a wire rack in the roasting pan or create a rack by placing the turkey on a 2 to 3-inch layer of roughly chopped carrots, celery, parsnips, and onion (and/or leeks).  
  5. Cover pan tightly with foil and bake for 1 ½ - 2 hours.  
  6. Increase oven temperature to 375°F. Remove the foil and baste the turkey with a baster or a heat-resistant brush. Baste every 10-15 minutes until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the turkey reaches your desired temperature. 
  7. Allow Turkey to rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.
