This is how you cook the perfect turkey for Thanksgiving
- 7 years ago
Focusing on cooking the perfect Thanksgiving turkey can drive you crazy, which is why the FDA is here to help. They suggest a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees. The reason behind this is because salmonella can’t withstand temperatures above 160 degrees after 30 seconds. The USDA also recommends not stuffing the turkey because the juices that may contain salmonella will soak into the stuffing. Now it's time to strategize Thanksgiving dinner!
