1. Thaw your turkey in the refrigerator (24 hours/5pounds) or in a sealed bag in cold water, maintained at 40ºF or lower.
2. Before you take your turkey out of the oven, make sure the temperature has reached 180ºF, tested at the inner thigh, without touching the bone.
3. Use separate cutting boards for meat and veggies. Clean after every use with a solution of 1 tablespoon of bleach in a quart of warm water.
4. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw meat. Work up a lather for at least 20 seconds.
5. Don’t let cooked food sit out for more than a couple hours.
6. Store your refrigerated foods at below 40ºF.
7. Eat your leftover turkey cold, or reheat it to 165ºF before eating.
8. Finish leftover turkey in 4 days, or freeze it.
9. Better to skip the gravy, but if you do decide to have it, bring it to a boil before serving the leftovers and use up in 2 days or discard.
When food is between 40ºF and 140ºF, there is the danger of harmful, bacteria growing, that can cause food poisoning. Remember to keep your food below 40ºF when storing it, do not leave out more than a couple hours and cut your turkey up before refrigerating it so that it cools down to the safety range faster.
