Holding turkey, any ideas?

cal 2Member

I'm gonna cook a turkey,for myself, in the sm020 for Thanksgiving and then my brother wants one. I have my timing down to around 3 hrs, so I need to hold my turkey for about 3-4hrs. Any thoughts on how the best way would be? I was wondering about plastic wrap and foil in a prewarmed cooler. Will this mess up my turkey? Can I tent foil it on a half pan and cooler it?

Thanks for any thoughts!

We used to cook the Thanksgiving turkey, wrap it in foil, wrap it in a wool blanket, stuff it in a cardboard box lined with foil-backed styrofoam board, drive 50 miles to my parent's house, unwrap the turkey, make gravy, carve and serve the bird, eat Thanksgiving dinner, and the bird was still hot.

I think you'll be alright.
