Whether this is your first time or you�ve been doing it for years, cooking the Thanksgiving turkey can be tricky.  Trying to figure out when the turkey is done is often the hardest task, but it doesn�t have to be.  You can impress your family by using a food thermometer to cook like a PRO: Place the thermometer, Read the temperature, Out the oven!

 

Place the thermometer in three different spots to determine the temperature of the turkey:

  • The innermost part of the thigh;
  • The innermost part of the wing; and,
  • The thickest part of the breast.


Read the temperature to make sure that the bird has reached a minimum internal temperature of 165 �F, the temperature that kills harmful pathogens like Salmonella and Campylobacter.

 

Take the turkey Out of the oven when it has reached a safe temperature and serve it to your family without worry!
