5ROASTING A TURKEY SAFELY
Turkey will be center stage in many family meals this holiday season. There are a few things to keep
in mind for roasting a turkey safely.
First, always buy a turkey from a safe source. The local health department inspects grocery stores
for safety. Food processors are inspected by the food manufacturing inspector. Permits and
licenses are public records.
A fresh turkey should be purchased one or two days before cooking. Fresh turkey only remains safe
for one to two days in the refrigerator. Frozen turkeys may be purchased weeks in advance. But be
sure to store and thaw the turkey safely, using USDA guidelines. For more information on that topic,
visit the USDA website: www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/food-safety-education/get-
answers/food-safety-fact-sheets/poultry-preparation/turkey-basics-safe-thawing/ct_index.
To roast a turkey, the oven temperature should be set at 325 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Place
the turkey breast-side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan and tuck the wing tips under the
shoulder. Add one-half cup of water to the bottom of the roasting pan. For a moist bird, a foil tent
can be placed loosely over the turkey for the first one to one and a half hours of cooking time. The
foil should then be removed so the turkey will brown. Another method is to place a foil tent over the
turkey after it browns. For food safety reasons, it is best to cook stuffing in a casserole dish rather
than stuffing the bird.
Use the chart below to estimate roasting times. Some turkeys have a pop-up thermometer. Even so,
a food thermometer should always be used to make sure the temperature inside the turkey has
reached at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This prevents foodborne illness. Check the temperature in
the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast. Insert the thermometer
to the center of the muscle. Avoid touching bone. Allow the bird to rest 20 minutes before carving.
Refrigerate leftovers within two hours to prevent foodborne illness.
