Can you prepare turkey day before and how would you reheat it?

Turkey can be cooked ahead only if it can be quickly cooled and properly stored. The maximum time from completion of cooking to chilled to 40 degrees in refrigerator storage, including deboning, slicing, etc. , should be 2 hours. Time frames for cooked turkey storage and use: The outside limit for refrigerator storage for cooked turkey meat is 72 hours from the time it comes out of the oven.

Longer than that, it MUST be frozen, preferably within 2 hours of roasting. Within two hours after roasting, remove any stuffing from turkey and carve the meat off the bones. Then store covered or wrapped, in refrigerator or freezer.

Do NOT store whole turkeys cooked. They Do not chill quickly enough or thoroughly enough to be safe. Wrap turkey slices and stuffing separately.

Refrigerate immediately and use within three days. If reheating turkey, reheat only once, to a measured temperature of 165 or higher. Turkey is tastier if reheated in a recipe that adds moisture, such as in broth or gravy, pot pies, BBQ or chili.

Use refrigerated gravy within three days. Before serving, bring to a full boil when reheating. Freeze leftover turkey or stuffing within 24 hours of roasting for best quality if you plan to store them for over 3 days.

Wrap in heavy foil, freezer wrap or place in freezer container. Stuffing tastes best if used within one month and cooked turkey within two months.

Small items may defrost overnight; most foods require a day or two. For large items like turkeys allow 24 hours for each 5 pounds of weight. For faster defrosting, place food in a leak-proof plastic bag and immerse it in cold water.(If the bag leaks, bacteria from the air or surrounding environment could be introduced into the food.

Tissues can also absorb water like a sponge, resulting in a watery product.) Check the water frequently to be sure it stays cold.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
