“You really want to be thawing your turkey in the refrigerator or using the cold water method…something that’s going to keep it at a safe temperature throughout that time frame. Another thing that people don’t do correctly is take the temperature of the turkey, the internal temperature using a food thermometer. A food thermometer is the only way to tell for sure if a turkey has reached a safe internal temperature which means all of that food borne illness bacteria has been killed.”
And she advises….get the leftovers into the fridge within two hours. For more info…head to www.fsis.usda.gov. And have a great holiday.
