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.
  • Defrost in the refrigerator only, not on the bench.
  • If you cook poultry to eat later, refrigerate while hot.
