Turkey Tips

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Always store cooked foods above raw foods in the refrigerator.
  • Turkey can be handled, cooked and stored in the same way as chicken. There are no special requirements in its handling.
