Where have I been. Cannot believe I have not heard this before or have tried it, Thanks to my friend JoAnn now I know how to simplify my Thanksgiving! I love this make ahead turkey technique. She served turkey this way after church for our young family’s Thanksgiving potluck meal.
Make Ahead Turkey
Turkey
Salt
Pepper
Butter
Turkey or Chicken Broth
Prep Day: Brine it, stuff it, roast it, deep fry it, or whatever floats your boat. But for this technique I would suggest patting it with butter and sprinkle salt and pepper, cover with foil and bake on a low temperature until done. The only challenge is to remember to do it before Thanksgiving. After it’s cooked and cooled, go ahead and carve the bird. Place the meat in a baking pan or roaster. Put a few pats of butter on it and a drizzle of turkey broth. Stick it in the fridge for a day or two.
Serve Day: On Thanksgiving take the turkey out of the fridge 30 minutes before reheating. Warm in the oven or an electric roaster before serving on Thanksgiving Day.
