For everything you need to know about cooking a turkey, the Turkey Federation has the answers. Visit their site for information about temperature checks, stuffing, preparation, oven roasting, deep frying, and grilling the bird for your holiday celebration. They also offer information on safely storing leftovers and have lots of recipes too.
The USDA has great advice for your holiday meal too. What should you do if your guests are delayed and you have to hold food? What should you do with the food if bad weather keeps company away from your holiday table? Or what should you do if a turkey is done hours before you’re ready to serve? Get answers at the USDA blog.
And remember that Ask Karen is available 24/7 at AskKaren.gov. And the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline is available today from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm ET at 1-888-674-6854.
