If dinner is picked up or delivered hot, the food must be kept at 140°F or above if eating within 2 hours (1 hour in temperatures of 90°F or above). It's not a good idea to try and keep the food hot longer than 2 hours.
If holding the food longer than 2 hours, remove all stuffing from the turkey cavity, divide the turkey into smaller pieces and refrigerate everything in separate, shallow containers. Reheat thoroughly to 165°F.
If cooked and refrigerated, keep cold food cold. Refrigerate immediately upon arrival at home (always within 2 hours). Serve the meal within 2 days. Reheating a whole cooked turkey is NOT recommended. However, cooked turkeys with the USDA inspection seal on the packaging have been processed under controlled conditions. Follow package directions for reheating and storing these products.
