I need advice for reheating a turkey I cooked yesterday, 12/18 for dinner guests this evening, 12/19. At what temperature do I need it to be, to reheat a fully dressed, unsliced turkey and keep it moist and juicy too?

This isn't exactly the answer you were looking for, but it is a great idea. Slice the turkey into small "steaks," dredge them in an egg that has been beaten with a fork, then through flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Fry them quickly in a pan of olive oil, or whatever oil your choose. Since the turkey is already cooked, all you want to do is "set" the egg and flour, cooking it thoroughly. The turkey will be hot by that time.
Turkey is great cold in sandwiches as well. I seldom reheat my turkey in the oven because there are so many things you can do with it after it has been cooked before.
Turkey and noodles make a great soup or casserole. Turkey and dumplings. Cold turkey salad made like you would make tuna fish or chicken salad. Hot turkey sandwiches open faced with gravy and mashed potatoes. Karen in Salem Oregon

I hope someone can give me some suggestions. My son-in-law, who is a policeman, works odd hours so my daughter and her family were coming to Christmas dinner on Christmas eve since due to work commitments, Christmas day was out.
Now his roster has been changed and they are coming on Boxing Day. The problem is, I defrosted my turkey to cook for Christmas eve and rather than risk it spoiling by leaving it thawed and uncooked, I cooked it anyway on Christmas eve and have it in the refrigerator, thinking that it would be safer to cook it and to warm it up later.
The problem is, how am I going to warm up a whole turkey without it drying out? Microwaving portions would take forever since there are 9 of us sitting down for the meal. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you so much.

I feel for you, sister! Think about this suggestion. I successfully steam my leftovers, especially meats, using anything from my small vegetable steamer to my huge crockpot with a rack over the water. I think if you halve or quarter the bird (depending on its size) and steam it in the oven over water it won't dry out.
