How long can you keep roasted turkey on a low heated buffet?

You should not keep roasted turkey on a low-heated buffet for an extended period.

Here's why:

* Food Safety: The "danger zone" for bacteria growth is between 40°F and 140°F (4°C and 60°C). While a low-heated buffet might seem safe, it's very difficult to maintain a temperature above 140°F (60°C) for extended periods, especially with a large piece of meat like turkey.

* Food Quality: Even if the turkey is kept within the safe temperature range, the quality will deteriorate over time. The meat will become dry, tough, and less flavorful.

Recommendations:

* Serve immediately: Ideally, serve the roasted turkey immediately after it's cooked.

* Keep hot: If you must keep the turkey warm, use a chafing dish with a heat source that maintains a temperature of at least 140°F (60°C).

* Don't keep it out for too long: Do not keep the turkey on a buffet for more than 2 hours. After that, discard any leftovers.

Remember: Food safety is paramount. It's better to err on the side of caution and serve the turkey fresh than risk foodborne illness.
