Has anyone cooked their turkey the day before?

I have not, but if I needed to for any reason, I would without a second thought. It may not be exactly how they’d prefer it, but they aren’t the ones cooking, either.

Every year our church has a Harvest Dinner and provides turkeys for people to roast and bring back the meat on the day of the dinner. We slowly warm up the cooked meat in electric roasters and add broth as necessary. As long as the turkey wasn't overcooked to begin with, the reheated meat works well.

My MIL on the other hand...she overcooks her turkeys by roasting them overnight. But if that wasn't bad enough, she also warms up the meat to long and too hot. Even the dark meat is a bit tough by the time we sit down to eat a thanksgiving dinner...that's why I volunteer to roast a turkey (in her kitchen) every few years (also so we can have good stuffing because she never does stuffing).
