Food plays a big role in holiday festivities, and all that cooking may come with some questions.
For questions about preventing foodborne illness, safe food handling and storage, and safe preparation of meat, poultry, and egg products, try the resource from the USDA called “Ask USDA.” To search this knowledge base of common food safety questions, just go to ask.usda.gov and use the search box.
For example, when typing in “turkey,” you can find the answers to these questions:
- What is the safest way to thaw a frozen turkey?
- How long can a thawed turkey remain in the refrigerator after thawing?
- How long can you keep leftover cooked turkey?
If you run into any turkey troubles this year, check out this resource! Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!
