HOLIDAY TURKEY TIPS

November 25th, 2008 · No Comments · Food Borne Illness, Food Safety, Salmonella

There is no shortage of tips on keeping your loved ones from contracting a food-borne illness. But the NBC affiliate in Wisconsin is nice enough to supply a video as well as text. Here is part of their cornucopia of advice:

The most important rule is not to cook the stuffing with the turkey. Just don’t do it. The stuffing rarely reaches the bacteria-killing temperatures when it’s inside the turkey.

By the way, that temperature is 165 degrees.

Most of the other tips would be known as common sense — if they were more commonly followed: keep raw and ready to eat foods separate; separate raw meats and produce in the fridge; store meat on the bottom shelf.
