ROASTING A TURKEY SAFELY Turkey will be center stage in many family meals this holiday season. There are a few things to keep in mind for roasting a turkey safely. First, always buy a turkey from a safe source. The local health department inspects grocery stores for safety. Food processors are inspected by the food manufacturing inspector. Permits and licenses are public records. A fresh turkey should be purchased one or two days before cooking. Fresh turkey only remains safe for one to two days in the refrigerator. Frozen turkeys may be purchased weeks in advance. But be sure to store and thaw the turkey safely, using USDA guidelines. For more information on that topic, visit the USDA website: www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/food-safety-education/get- answers/food-safety-fact-sheets/poultry-preparation/turkey-basics-safe-thawing/ct_index. To roast a turkey, the oven temperature should be set at 325 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Place the turkey breast-side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan and tuck the wing tips under the shoulder. Add one-half cup of water to the bottom of the roasting pan. For a moist bird, a foil tent can be placed loosely over the turkey for the first one to one and a half hours of cooking time. The foil should then be removed so the turkey will brown. Another method is to place a foil tent over the turkey after it browns. For food safety reasons, it is best to cook stuffing in a casserole dish rather than stuffing the bird. Use the chart below to estimate roasting times. Some turkeys have a pop-up thermometer. Even so, a food thermometer should always be used to make sure the temperature inside the turkey has reached at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This prevents foodborne illness. Check the temperature in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast. Insert the thermometer to the center of the muscle. Avoid touching bone. Allow the bird to rest 20 minutes before carving. Refrigerate leftovers within two hours to prevent foodborne illness. For more information about preparing a turkey safely and other food safety tips, contact your County Extension Office.
