This is all a great suggestion plus store your leftovers in broth.

Your turkey will stay "hot" for about 40 minutes (size depending); the best time to carve is about 20-30 minutes after oven removal! Heat can be maintained with a covering of foil.

Pretty much everyone agrees that the turkey needs to rest a MINIMUM of 20 minutes, and some folks rest up to an hour. It won’t be piping hot - but you don’t want it to be! That would = juices flowing out. Serve with hot everything else and pro tip - warm your plates too!
