Help! The turkey is so dry!! I cooked it yesterday and need to slice and heat it back up today.

Question

Help! I made a turkey breast and 2 turkey thighs/drumsticks yesterday. Was planning to slice them up before heating it back up today, but the turkey is all so dry! How do I get some moisture back into it? Was thinking to slice it and put some gravy or stock over it while heating it up at about 200. Would that work???

PS Looked at the original (years ago) Ina Garten video and she DID use gravy under the turkey pieces. Your choice.

Nancy · Answer

Sounds good. I would go for the broth to heat them up (the liquid will transmit heat better than gravy, and it leaves the gravy for people to add to their taste).

Two more notes -
• you could also do this on stovetop, to leave the oven for other dishes.
• Ina Garten does this reheating in broth on purpose ;she roasts her turkey day before to make thanksgiving day easier). So see her recipes or videos for more info.
