Once a turkey is fully cooked, it's essential to let it rest for a short period before carving and serving. The resting time allows the juices to redistribute within the meat, making it juicier and more flavorful. As a general guideline, you should let the turkey rest for about 30 minutes to 1 hour after it's done cooking.
During this resting period, you can loosely cover the turkey with aluminum foil to keep it warm. Be sure to place it in a draft-free area, away from the heat source, to maintain its temperature. The internal temperature of the turkey will continue to rise slightly during this time, so keep that in mind if you're using a meat thermometer to monitor the doneness.
After the resting period, you can carve the turkey and serve it to your guests. Enjoy your delicious meal!
