Many people think that washing their turkey will remove bacteria and make it safe. In fact, washing a turkey can transfer harmful bacteria onto the surfaces of your kitchen, other foods, and utensils.
Do not wash your turkey in preparation for cooking on Thanksgiving. Likewise, only cooking the turkey thoroughly to 165°F kills any bacteria.
It’s time to start thinking about buying a fresh turkey and how to properly and safely prepare the entire meal.
All turkeys, like other fresh meat and poultry, are highly perishable and care needs to be taken when purchasing, storing, preparing, and cooking them to avoid foodborne illness.
For most people, turkey is a important part of the holidays. With all that is going on with the holidays, cooking can be a lot of pressure, and you don’t want to make anyone sick.
Follow these simple steps to avoid giving your family and friends the ‘gift’ of food illness.
