[quote=Anonymous]On the very amusing Thanksgiving family adventures thread, someone bemoans her mom cooking the turkey on Monday to reheat on Thursday. A few posters highlighted that comment, finding the concept of reheated turkey especially egregious.

I've purchased whole turkeys from Wegmans before - you pick them up the day before Thanksgiving, fully cooked, and you reheat them for a few hours in the oven. They always come out moist and delicious with crispy skin.

This Thanksgiving, I'm picking up two cooked 20-pound turkeys that have been smoked by a local restaurant. The restaurant only makes a limited number of these birds, so it's a big deal to get early in line in October to reserve your space/bird.

It never occurred to me that this would be shocking to anyone. I'm not feeling any stress about my choice, because I'm hosting 20 people who are simply happy to have a meal and good company. Besides, I know how delicious this all will be! :D But it makes me wonder...for those of you who are appalled, have you ever tried reheated whole turkey? Are you turkey purists of some sort? Is turkey, to you, the star of the show (and not the spectacular sides)?[/quote]
