I probably wouldn't try to reheat a whole turkey. The reason is that reheating such a large bird would probably involve a lot more heat than I would want to expose the white met (turkey breasts) too, particularly since turkey tends to be very dry as it is. Then there's the fact that the drumsticks and wings, due to their size, might also dry out. Overcooking just makes the situation worse. However, if you must do it, I would probably take the bird out of the fridge for at least an hour before reheating to get the carcass as close to room temperature as possible, I'd put some liquid, stock, wine, etc. in the bottom of the pan to keep the moisture level as high as possible, and I'd make sure and keep some fat on the turkey breasts (butter, flavored olive oil, etc.) to keep them basted and as moist as possible.

What I would personally do is dismantle the turkey breast, bone the turkey breasts, separate the thighs from the drumsticks, and either use the wings and rest of the carcass to make stock, or discard them. I would only reheat the amount of turkey I thought my family would eat that sitting. If the turkey breast is going to be served with a sauce or a gravy, I would heat that, remove it from the flame, and then place slices of the breast in it, or ladle it on to the room temperature turkey slices, and allow the remaining heat from the gravy to warm the turkey breast. I would probably rewarm the dark meat (thighs and drumsticks) in a pan in the oven, but I'd place the drumsticks on the inside, and the thighs on the outside so the thicker pieces got more heat.

Does deep-fried turkey taste different from roasted turkey?

The main difference in my opinion is that it's juicier. It's really moist and yummy. Sometimes roasted turkey can feel a little dry and dense. My husband loves to deep fry a turkey. He's from the South though and they would fry butter if they could figure out a way.
