The Christmas turkey
shoiglct lae h joy: to eat, not ;a
possible source of discomfort.
say /'food ',.and nutrition'
specialists; with. the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food. poultry of any kind, is,a . .
perishable food and heeds to
be treated With care.- : •
Whether :a; • frozen bird: is
thawed in the refrigerator, at
room temperature, in cold
water, or in, a microwave
oven, the * rrgina1 -vacuum-
sealed bag `Should be left on
so the Meat is protected from
any. source of contamination.
Reftigerate itas soon as it is
defrosted and cook within 24
hours. • •
A fresh • turkey, on the
other hand, should be re-
moved from its original
wrapper atiVeovered with
loose tent of foil or waxed
paper. Store the giblets
separately from the bird and
keep both in the coldest part
of the refrigerator for no
more than three days.
Linda Louwagie , St. Patrick's School, Dublin
For ',Safety, never stuff
poultry in. advance, Don't
even, mix up 'the dressing
•-until •just before roasting.
Any equipment such as knife
. 9r cutting: board used With
the raw turkey needs to be
thoroughly washed with hot,
soapy water before it touches
the cooked bird.
After the turkey has made
its impressive appearance on
the Christmas dinnertable,
remove the stuffing from
both cavities and refrigerate.
It's wise to freeze any that
cat be used within three
days. At sub, -,zero
temperatures, it will keep for
two months.
Chill the turkey as quickly
as possible after the feast.
Keep it snug. ,ly covered with
a foil -in -the -refrigerator for up
to four days. Fteeze any
remaining turkey. Remove
the meat from the bones and
wrap . meal -size portions in
foil or plastic, according to .
the size of, the pieces: slices,
chunks, and tidbits. When
• the meat; is frbz n in this
way, it should• be used up by
the •end of January, If it is
covered•with;gravy or broth,
it 'will 'retain its quality' for
about three months,
A big .bid .is often a' better
buy. They ratio of ?neat: to•
bone is higher. and the price'
is frequently lower, but it can
mean that a considerable
00,
amount remaits after the
Christmas. dinner, If the
turkeys is treated, with care,
before and after roasting, the
leftovers' will be as. safe and
enjoyable' as the feast
