Quit food safety confusion cold turkey this Thanksgiving! While this holiday is a great time to spend with family and friends, it’s also time to bust some myths. Always carve your turkey after cooking. A whole cooked turkey will not cool quickly enough, thus putting it at risk for bacterial growth. Carve the turkey into smaller pieces so it cools faster in the refrigerator. Myth 2: Thawing a turkey on the counter is safe. Never thaw a turkey on the kitchen counter.

Once a turkey has sat at room temperature beyond two hours, it enters the Danger Zone, where bacteria grow rapidly. Thawing a turkey in a refrigerator is safe. Allow approximately 24 hours of thawing time for every four to five pounds of turkey. Turkeys are also safely thawed in a microwave and cold water. Myth 3: My pop-up timer is enough to know if my turkey is fully cooked. Pop-up timers are disposable thermometers used to measure a turkey’s temperature.
