To reheat turkey and keep the skin crispy, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the turkey on a wire rack over a baking sheet to allow air circulation. Cover the turkey with aluminum foil to retain moisture for the first 15 minutes. Then remove the foil and continue reheating for an additional 10-15 minutes until the skin is crispy. Using a spray bottle to lightly mist the skin with a tiny amount of oil can also help achieve crispiness.
