PREPARING THE PERFECT TURKEY

(Continued from last issue)

Time to start thinking about that Thanksgiving Day Turkey.

Frozen turnkeys, can be bought weeks in advance.

Fresh turnkey should be bought a day or two before using.? This will allow enough time in the refrigerator for complete thawing.

Allow 1 day for every 5 pounds for thawing. You can keep a defrosted turnkey 1-2 days in your refrigeration.

General Roasting Guide for Turkey
Ready To Cook Weight, Stuffed Turkeys:
Cook turkey at 325 degrees F.
8 ? 12 lb 3 ? 3.5 hrs
12 ? 14 lb 3.5- 4 hrs
14 ? 18 lb 4 ? 5 hrs
18 ? 20 lb 4.5 ? 5 hrs
20 ? 24 lb 4.5 ? 5.5 hrs

For unstuffed turnkey of the same weight reduce cooking time 15 to 40 minutes.

When thigh temperate is 180 degrees F, stuffing 165 F, turnkey should be done.

Test with a thermometer. Pop-up timers could give a false reading.

It is unsafe to cook whole turkeys at low temperatures for long time periods.? Bacteria can multiply rapidly and won?t be killed at that temperature. A standard method of cooking a turkey is at 325 degrees F, breast side up.

To enhance browning, basting the bird with a little oil, butter or pan drippings works well, and helps keep the meat moist.

When cooked remove from oven, cover with fresh foil. Remove stuffing.? Wait 10 ?20 minutes before cutting.

At room temperature turkey can remain on table for up to 2 hours. After that, should be refrigerated. Leftover turkey can be kept for up to five days. Gravy and stuffing will keep for up to two days. Gravy should be reheated to boiling, stuffing reheated to165degrees.

Definitely use a resealable container if you?re freezing take-home food for another meal. Styrofoam cartons are essentially

designed to transport foods securely,? but they don?t provide an airtight environment that will preserve moistness, flavour and freshness.

As a general rule, reheat foods to an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Test with a thermometer. Pop-up timers could give a false reading.

Food Information

In case you didn?t know: September is National Food Safety Education Month. Below are some good tips when handling food. For more information go; foodsafety.com

Always wash hands thoroughly before touching any food. Hand washing is especially important before, during and after handling raw fish, poultry or meat.

Avoid the potential for cross-contamination by using clean utensils for each food item you prepare. Knives used in the preparation of meat, fish or poultry can easily transfer bacteria to other foods you?re planning to prepare a little while later.

Cutting boards can also harbour bacteria, and these surfaces should be cleaned frequently.

Wash fresh fruit and vegetables under cold running water before preparation. Fruit and vegetables should be wrapped and stored in separate containers.

Fish, poultry and other meats should always be completely thawed before cooking begins. Thorough cooking is vital.

The centre of cooked hamburger patties should never be pink, and all juices should run clear. Cook hamburger and ribs to 160 degrees. Ground poultry should be cooked to 165 degrees. Marinade at the time of grilling. Never re-use marinades.

Pay attention to storage. Many take great care to prepare and cook foods properly, only to ignore storage recommendations. Ignoring food storage guidelines can easily result in food borne illness. Allowing foods to sit for several hours at room temperature provides adequate time for the growth of disease-causing bacteria.

Most people infected with E. coli O157:H7 develop diarrhoea (often bloody) and abdominal cramps 2-8 days (average of 3-4 days) after swallowing the organism, but some illnesses last longer and are more severe. Infection is usually diagnosed by culture of a stool sample. Most people recover within a week, but some develop a severe infection. A type of kidney failure called haemolytic ureic syndrome (HUS) can begin as the diarrhoea is improving; this can occur in people of any age but is most common in children under 5 years old and the elderly.

Symptoms of food poisoning include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, fever and abdominal cramps. Symptoms associated with food borne illness can appear anywhere from 30 minutes to two weeks after the eating of contaminated items. However, symptoms most often occur within four to 48 hours. Consult a physician immediately if you suspect food poisoning.

Wash your hands often in warm soapy water for at least 20 seconds before and after every step in preparing or eating foods.

Keep non-food items ? mail, newspapers, and purses ? off counters and away from food and utensils.

Wash the kitchen counter carefully before and after food preparation.

Change towels and dishcloths often and wash them in the hot cycle of the washing machine. Sterilize sponges by rinsing the sponge and micro waving it for two minutes while wet. Be careful, the sponge will be hot.

If you have teenagers, or in fact any adult, impress on them the risks of driving while intoxicated. Statistics demonstrate drunk drivers cause many fatal road accidents.

It should be known that like any other drug, addiction is a potential hazard.? Excess of alcohol will affect organs such as the brain, heart, and liver.

BAR MIXES

3 pints cherry tomatoes

2 cups tomato juice
