Luigi’s Holiday Menu Reheating Instructions
As a general rule of thumb when reheating already cooked food low cooking temperatures and slow cooking times are a good rule of thumb. These reheating times and oven temperatures are for conventional home ovens and as oven performance may vary cooking/reheating times may vary as well. If you are using a convection oven then lower cooking temperatures by 25o
Whole Cooked Turkeys and Turkey Breasts:
We suggest that the best way to reheat a cooked turkey is to carve it first. America’s Test Kitchen has a great video on You Tube showing the best way to carve a Turkey.

Arrange the sliced turkey in the pan provided and cover with the pan drippings provided, cover with foil and
place in 325o oven for 30 to 40 minutes checking with a meat thermometer that the turkey is reheated to 165o
following safe food handling guidelines. Try arranging the slices of hot turkey around a mound of hot stuffing on a serving platter with a garnish of your choosing for an impressive presentation. If you want to reheat the whole bird plan on about 7-10 minutes per pound at 275o. To prevent drying out the bird baste frequently with the pan drippings until a meat thermometer inserted in the thigh read 165o.
