How to Reheat Leftover Turkey
Here are a few friendly tips on reheating leftover turkey. To prevent it from drying out, try these methods:
- Oven Method: Place the turkey pieces in a baking dish and drizzle either leftover gravy or chicken broth on top. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the turkey is heated through.
- Microwave Method: Wrap the leftover turkey in a damp paper towel which will prevent it from drying out. Heat on medium power in short intervals. Be careful not to overheat!
- Stove Top Skillet: My favorite way to reheat leftover turkey or any meat is to first heat up the leftover gravy. If you need to make more gravy, follow my easy recipe in my Pot Roast Recipe. Once the gravy is hot and bubbly, add the pieces of turkey and in a few minutes they'll be ready to serve!
