Hello all, long time lurker here. I am smoking at least one full turkey bird this Thanksgiving and I have a weird question for the choir. How long can I go before I've let the turkey rest too long? This is weird so I will explain below:
Dinner is at my in-law's house but my quite heavy smoker is at my house 10 minutes away. I would like to enjoy some pre dinner conversation with relatives plus appetizers, drinks, etc. So would it be ok to take the bird off, wrap in foil take it over there and let it sit up to an hour? Or am I going to affect the taste or be unsafe? It would suck if I spend 7 hours at my house smoking then go straight into having to carve it and eat dinner. Am I making sense?
