Turkey Tips

  • Defrost in the refrigerator only, not on the bench.
  • If you cook poultry to eat later, refrigerate while hot.
  • After purchasing fully cooked smallgoods, ensure they are stored in the refrigerator with their wrapping sealed until required. After opening, they must be consumed within 2-3 days.
  • Turkey can be handled, cooked and stored in the same way as chicken. There are no special requirements in its handling.
