My SO fixed a large turkey and we have half the bird left on the
carcass. Is there any way to reheat it on the carcass or do we have to
carve it and reheat the carvings?

Carve it. Remove all the meat and pitch the carcass, or use it for
stock, or whatever. Then reheat the meat on its own, or even better, eat
it cold.

Am I the only person who can't stand cold leftover poultry? It seems
to me that turkey and chicken especially, get that off taste within a
day of cooking them. I can eat them reheated for a day, but then, they
need to be in something else that is heavily seasoned/flavored for me to
eat them. I can't stand cold turkey or chicken sandwiches more than a
day after roasting, and am not particularly fond of them sooner. I do
like them in chicken salads/turkey salads, but again, they are flavored
quite a bit in those.

Regards,
Ranee

I doubt that you are the only one, but I like left over chicken. I am not
crazy about hot turkey and quickly tire of leftovers, but chicken is another
story. In fact, I sometimes like it better cold than it was hot out of the
oven. Chicken salad, chicken sandwiches, plain left over cold chicken.... it's
all great.

I'm just the opposite. I like leftover turkey but chicken, no thanks.
I'll eat it hot but could definately even do without that.

Men are from Earth. Women are from Earth. Deal with it.

Make turkey pot pie, freeze it, and eat it when you aren't sick of turkey.

Carve and make stock from the carcass.

Use the leftover turkey meat:

- in the soup
- turkey salad
- chef's salad
- turkey pot pie
- turkey hash
- ground up in ravioli filling, or sausage

Thanks for all your answers. I had thought that we could heat up the
whole thing but it makes much more sense to carve it and heat only what
we want to eat immediately and freeze the rest.
