Keeping Turkey from Drying Out When Reheating

RE: Keeping Turkey from Drying Out When Reheating Post By siris (Guest Post) (12/26/2007) I've heard that the chef's trick is to wrap it in lettuce leaves to reheat. RE: Keeping Turkey from Drying Out When Reheating Post By sheri (Guest Post) (12/26/2007) My dad always reheats his turkey in chicken broth in the oven, seal the pan. It comes out great. And he got this from chefs that worked in nationally renown restaurants, where he also worked. So it is sound advice. RE: Keeping Turkey from Drying Out When Reheating Post By Sherry.

RE: Keeping Turkey from Drying Out When Reheating Post By Mac from Texas (Guest Post) (12/26/2007) If heating in an open pan, put a pan of boiling water below it. This will help. Another way: Use a (closed) cooking bag and put a quartered apple and/or citrus fruit in with the turkey. RE: Keeping Turkey from Drying Out When Reheating Post by cnd421 (3) | (12/26/2007) Contact as always when reheating meat, I get a BIG POT, fill over 1/2 way with water and place a wire rack to hold the meat across the top of the rack. Then I place either a large lid that will cover the meat or foil over the meat and around the sides. This allows the steam to go up thru the meat and keeps the meat moist while heating. This is especially good for steaks, pork chops and RIBS, hot dogs, roast, etc....

But I'll bet if you don't have any pan drippings left, you could put some chicken stock in the pan with it and warm it in the oven it would be nice and moist!

Or you might try heating it up in canned chicken broth or adding a bouillon cube to the water, but I didn't need either and the turkey flavor was still tasty.
