LET’S TALK TURKEY
Unsafe handling and under-cooking your holiday bird can cause foodborne illnesses. Here are a few tips from the USDA to keep your Thanksgiving safe and delicious.
3 WAYS TO THAW
REFRIGERATOR:
This is the USDA recommended thawing method. Allow approximately 24 hours for every 4-5 pounds of bird. It is safe to store the turkey for another 1-2 days in the refrigerator.
COLD WATER:
Submerge the bird in cold water and change every 30 minutes. Cook immediately after thawing.
MICROWAVE:
Use the defrost function based on weight. Cook immediately after thawing.
ROASTING YOUR TURKEY
Your bird is not safe until it reaches 165 degrees. You cannot tell by the color.
Use three places to check the temperature. Thickest part of the breast. Innermost part of the wing. Innermost part of the thigh.
It’s safe to cook a frozen turkey though cooking time will be 50% longer.
