November: Thanksgiving Turkey Tips As Thanksgiving approaches, planning and preparing for the holiday dinner can result in anxiety and questions. What kind of turkey should I buy? Should I buy a frozen or fresh turkey? A few simple steps will ease holiday fears and ensure a delicious meal for family and friends. The following tips may help you prepare a successful and safe holiday meal: Plan ahead: Plan the menu 2 to 3 weeks before the holiday. Shopping early will ease the countdown tension. Fresh or Frozen: There is no difference in quality between a fresh or frozen turkey. Take advantage of special sales when you buy frozen turkey in advance. Fresh turkeys provide convenience because they don’t require thawing. When to buy the bird: A frozen turkey takes about 24 hours per 4 to 5lbs. to thaw in the refrigerator. If buying fresh, buy 1 to 2 days before the meal and keep it refrigerated. How do you know when it’s done: Insert a food thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh to a temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Carving and food safety: It’s best to let the turkey rest for 20 minutes to allow juices to set also it’ll be easier to carve. Storing your Thanksgiving leftovers: It’s important to store leftovers in shallow containers and put them in the refrigerator or freezer within 2 hours. Use cooked leftover turkey, stuffing and gravy within 3 to 4 days. Cooked turkey keeps for 3 to 4 months in the freezer. Reheat leftovers thoroughly to 165 degrees Fahrenheit and bring gravy to a boil before serving.
