Fw: How to Safely Store, Thaw, and Roast a Turkey

Get tips on how to safely store, thaw, and roast a turkey. Here are a few key tips: Avoid Fresh Pre-Stuffed Turkeys - Don't buy fresh pre-stuffed turkeys because harmful bacteria in the stuffing can quickly multiply. If you buy a frozen pre-stuffed turkey, look for a USDA or state mark of inspection. Frozen pre-stuffed turkeys should not be thawed before cooking. Thaw Frozen Turkey - There are 3 ways to safely thaw a frozen turkey: in the refrigerator, in cold water, or in the microwave. Look at the thawing chart, based on the size of the turkey. Clean Up - Use soap and water to wash hands, utensils, counters, sinks, and anything that comes in contact with raw turkey and its juices. Cook to 165°F - Cook your turkey to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F. Look at timetables for roasting a turkey in a 325°F oven, based on the size of the turkey and whether or not it's stuffed. Discard After 2 Hours - After you've enjoyed your Thanksgiving meal, discard any turkey, stuffing, or gravy left at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Or, if room temperature is above 90°F, discard food after 1 hour.       If you have questions, contact us. Stay Connected to USA.GOV: Facebook  Twitter  YouTube  Our Blog

A House Democrat with knowledge of the president's plan said that the fix would allow insurance companies to renew plans that do not meet the higher standard of the new health care law for a year for existing policy holders, though they would be required to notify the policy holder of alternative available coverage options, as well any benefits they might lose by staying on their existing, subpar plan.

Debt and Slavery Editorial of The New York Sun | November 11, 2013 http://www.nysun.com/editorials/debt-and-slavery/88486/ Send Comment Share:   Governor Sarah Palin is in hot water again, this time for likening our national debt to slavery. She did this in a speech Saturday at Iowa. "Our free stuff today is being paid for by taking money from our children and borrowing from China," she was quoted by the Register in Des Moines as saying. "When that money comes due — and this isn't racist — but it'll be like slavery when that note is due."
