Can I smoke a turkey and then freeze it for 2 weeks and then take it to my parents(4 hrs away)to warm it up? If so, what time frame should I be looking at in the oven and at what temp.? Thanks.

You talking about freezing the cooked turkey whole?
If so, You'll be better off deboning before freezing. -
yes I am. Why debone, though??
Okeejohn -
It's easier and quicker to thaw and heat up.
Freezing the turkey whole will take a long time to thaw and you risk having turkey jerky trying to heat it back up.
Course if it was me I'd load up my egg and get to mom's early. She'll love you for coming early and the Turkey will be not need to be frozen. -
Ok, makes sense. What temp and how long?
Okeejohn -
Are we talking Deboned? Not long you just want it warmed up. Remember you are going to smother it with Hot Yummy Gravy..
I have been known to slice it up and smother it with cold gravy and pop it into 350 deg oven for 30 minutes or so. You want the chill off the meat and the gravy warm. -
Thanks for your kind and most appreciated advise. I will definitely use it.
