The Illinois Department of Public Health cautions cooks to remember that turkeys are often associated with food-borne illness, and therefore require special handling. Turkeys, as well as other poultry and red meat animals, frequently harbor disease-causing bacteria in their intestinsl tracts. The bacteria may accidentally contaminate the meat during slaughter and pro­ cessing. If organisms are allowed to multiply during preparation and cooking, they can make anyone who eats the contaminated food very ill. What make these organisms multiply while the turkey is cook­ ing? What often happens is this: a cook purchases a frozen turkey and tries to thaw a 20-pound bird the same way a three-pound chicken is thawed. Sometimes the turkey is stuffed before it is com­ pletely thawed. The frozen cavity, packed with dressing, provides such complete insulation that suf­ ficient heat may never penetrate to the center of the bird. The turkey then becomes a vehicle for transmitting disease-producing bacteria. The state health department has some tips that will help avoid bacterial contamination of a turkey: • Solidly frozen turkeys should be thawed in the refrigerator or in some way that will keep the sur­ face temperature of the bird lower than 45 degrees Fahrenheit. For large birds, particularly pre- stuffed turkeys, complete thawing may take several days. • It is safer to bake dressing in shallow pans rather than inside the turkey. If the bird is stuffed, the temperature in the center of the dressing should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit to assure that al l harmful bacteria are destroyed. Use a metal-stemmed meat thermometer, and insert it so that the tip of the thermometer is not touching bone. A microwave thermometer should be used if the turkey is baked in a microwave oven. If the turkey is done before the temperature inside the stuff­ ing reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit, remove the stuffing from the turkey and finish baking it in shallow pans. If the turkey is not stuffed, the meat ther­ mometer should be inserted into the thickest part of the inner thigh. • Do not keep turkeys in unheated ovens overnight. Lef­ tovers should never be allowed to sit at room temperture for pro­ longed periods. All holiday lef­ tovers which require refrigeration should be stored immediately after the meal at temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. • Store turkey meat and stock in separate containers. • When serving leftovers be sure they are either cold (right out of the refrigerator) or very hot. Never serve leftovers lukewarm or at room temperature. A simple safety rule Is to keep food hot or cold-below 45 degrees or above 140 degrees-or don't keep it. The Illinois Department of Public Health believes that, by following these suggestions in preparing Thanksgiving dinner, dinner quests' only dlicomfort will be from eating too much good- •and safe-food. & U DON'T MISS LOTTO J YOUR CHANCE TO WIN 2314W.
