Chop Shop Butchery Smoked Turkey Reheating Instructions
Step 1: Bring the turkey to room temperature
Remove the turkey from the fridge and leave it on the counter for 1 hour.
Keep the turkey in the baking bag and pan during this time.
Step 2: Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 350°F and allow it to fully preheat while the turkey rests.
Step 3: Prepare the turkey for reheating
Without removing the turkey from the baking bag, pour 1 quart of stock (chicken or turkey) into the bottom of the bag around the turkey. The liquid will create steam and keep the turkey moist.
Fold the open end of the bag under itself or loosely gather it to ensure the moisture stays inside during cooking.
Step 4: Reheat at 350°F
Place the turkey (still in the baking bag and pan) in the oven and heat for 1 hour.
Avoid opening the oven during this time to maintain even heat.
Step 5: Crisp the skin
After 1 hour, carefully remove the turkey from the oven.
Open the top of the bag and pull it back to fully expose the turkey skin, being cautious of the hot steam.
Step 6: Finish at 425°F
Increase the oven temperature to 425°F.
Return the uncovered turkey to the oven and roast for 10 minutes to crisp and brown the skin.
Step 7: Rest and serve
Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 10–15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute for a flavorful meal.
