Turkey Food Safety
The List, always hopeful that its Gentle Members will not be slain by
salmonella, felled by Listeria or laid low by any food borne pathogens,
offers a useful site from the good folks at Iowa State University Extension
department. Gentle Members may find it easier to keep upright by following
the excellent advice from the Food Safety Project.
"Iowa State University Extension believes that resources are needed for
consumers, educators and students to access research-based, unbiased
information on food safety and quality. The goal of the Food Safety Project
is to develop educational materials that give the public the tools they
need to minimize their risk of foodborne illness. . . It's the season for
preparing turkey, stuffing, leftovers -- and for questions about how to
cook, serve, and store your holiday feast. The Food Safety Project at ISU
Extension answers questions about how to prepare your holiday turkey
safely." - from the website
This site provides explicit instructions on buying and preparing turkeys
for the table. Although much of the information may already be known by
experienced cooks, safety may lie in the details covered at the site.
Helpful guidelines for thawing a frozen turkey, testing for when a turkey
has been properly roasted and safely storing leftovers are included. The
"Ask a Food Safety Expert" link reveals why it's downright dangerous to
roast a turkey overnight at a low temperature. Unfortunately, the link to
"Danger Zone" is unavailable but the one to "food safety lesson" can be
accessed from the Home page link.
