@mik said in Transporting Turkey:
Put it in a big cooler, cover it with foil then top with towels. The gravy can be reheated at D4's but the turkey will still be warm, and probably better for the rest. Just make sure the pan is not hot enough to melt the plastic cooler.
That will work.
As an alternate...Use a styrofoam box (I prefer Beckman-Coulter), line with two layers of wax paper, wax side facing the inside of the box, with enough hanging out of the top to almost touch the floor on all four sides. Take the bird directly from the oven, place in the cooler, wrapping the excess wax paper around bird (paper side to bird, wax side towards lid). Put lid on, run a couple of pieces of tape to keep lid in place and do not remove lid- under penalty of death- until you're ready to carve and put on the table.
Bird is good for two hours like that, no problem.
