Turkey Tips

  • Always store cooked foods above raw foods in the refrigerator.
  • Use separate cutting boards and utensils when handling raw and cooked poultry. Wash these thoroughly with hot, soapy water before and after handling. Also use separate cutting boards from poultry for fruit and vegetables.
  • Defrost in the refrigerator only, not on the bench.
  • Turkey can be handled, cooked and stored in the same way as chicken. There are no special requirements in its handling.
