Erin's Slow Roasted Turkey
Help! Planning to make Erin's Slow Roast Turkey on T-Day, and hoping to do as much prep as possible- how long can the cooked turkey sit at room temperature after cooking before the broil? Should it be covered? Or just refrigerated? If so, I'm assuming it needs to be brought to room temperature again before the second roasting.
Thanks!!

I wouldn't let the cooked turkey sit out longer than 4 hours before doing the final step. If you are planning on longer than that, I would suggest letting the turkey cool before covering (though keep it fairly tented as you don't want the crispy skin to get too soggy) and placing back in the fridge. Reheat it according to the last step as Erin suggests. I would let it come to close to room temperature before reheating. Best of luck and happy holidays!
