"So, this time of year, people are often preparing turkeys, and there’s probably two issues that seem to come up a whole lot when we’re preparing turkey. First is recommendations for thawing and the second is recommendations about washing the turkey in the sink."

"When it comes to thawing a turkey, there are several methods that experts will recommend for thawing a turkey. Those include thawing in the microwave, thawing in the refrigerator or thawing under cold running water. And those are all tried and true tested methods for properly thawing a turkey."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Schaffner, food science expert at Rutgers University:
"Experts recommend that people not wash their turkey in the sink. And the reason why they do this is we know through scientific research that when you wash a turkey in the sink, you can actually spread bacteria from that turkey to the rest of your kitchen. And then if those are pathogenic bacteria and you get them onto a cutting board or onto your hands or onto a surface that’s going to touch another food that’s not going to be cooked, that can lead to cross-contamination and that can lead to food borne disease."

"The turkey should be cooked to a temperature of 165°F in all spots. And that will ensure that the turkey is safe, but also that it’s fully cooked. You can’t rely on color or other methods for indicating doneness. The only tried and true way is using a tip sensitive digital thermometer."

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Schaffner, food science expert at Rutgers University:
"We want to promptly and properly refrigerate leftovers. So the recommendation is that you get those leftovers into the refrigerator within about two hours of when they came off the stove or whenever you started to eat. So that gives you an hour to eat and then an hour to lounge around before you put your leftovers away. Another good food safety tip when it comes to leftovers is make sure that you refrigerate those leftovers in shallow containers. My recommendation is to make sure that the container is filled to a depth of two inches or less."
