Here's how to reheat a smoked turkey without drying it out. It's the easiest way to get a perfectly moist, tender and delicious turkey every time! We reheat a smoked turkey every year for Thanksgiving and it couldn't be easier. It really is one of the secrets to keeping
the holiday stress-free. The best part about it, other than the delicious smoked flavor, is that the smoked turkey comes fully cooked. All you have to do is reheat a pre-cooked turkey in the oven and you have a perfect turkey every time! And just like your favorite smoked meats, the smoky flavor of hickory, applewood, maple or cherry wood penetrates all the way through the turkey for smoky goodness in every bite. While there are a few tips and tricks for keeping it moist, the
reheating process is so easy anyone can do it. Note:
If you are using a leave-in meat thermometer, place the probe in the thickest part of the turkey before covering it with foil. Be sure to leave the probe wire outside of the foil so you can connect it to the external monitor to keep an eye on the temperature of the turkey. How do you reheat a smoked turkey without drying it out? To keep your smoked turkey moist and tender, place it on a rack in a roasting pan with a little water in the bottom. Cover it with foil and reheat it in a low oven. How long does it take to reheat a smoked turkey? It will take 2 to 3 hours to reheat a smoked whole turkey depending on the size of the turkey. The best way to tell when it's done is to use a meat thermometer. What temperature do you reheat a smoked turkey? Reheat a fully cooked smoked turkey in a 325°F oven until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 165°F according to USDA guidelines. Do you stuff a smoked turkey? No. Since the smoked turkey is already fully cooked, it would be overcooked and dry by the time the stuffing is cooked through. Bake the stuffing separately in a casserole dish. Where to buy a smoked turkey? Grocery store - don't count on finding smoked turkeys stocked in your local grocery store. Go to the meat department and place an order a week or two before you plan to cook the turkey. How do you thaw smoked turkey? Thaw your frozen whole smoked turkey in the refrigerator for 3 days. You can thaw a turkey more quickly in cold water (allow 30 minutes per pound), but don't thaw a turkey at room temperature. Serving suggestions
