It your turkey has remained under refrigeration, and plan to cook it within two days after you receive it, it should be fine. If your dinner will not be held within two day, it's wiser to cook it immediately and freeze it for transport. Q. My daughter, a recent bride, is in a panic about cooking Thanksgiving dinner. I told her that I'd bring the Turkey. I'll cook it overnight at 200 F oven so it will be ready for travel in the morning.
Dinner is at one o'clock.
There are several potential problems with your plan. It will take to long for the turkey to reach a temperature high enough to kill the bacteria that could be in the raw meat. Second, unless your daughter lives very close by, it's not a good idea to try to travel with the hot turkey. A temperature of at least 140 F must be constantly maintained to keep hot food safe. That's hard to ensure without a heat source.
