However, a holiday meal can be difficult to prepare with so many foods being cooked at different temperatures. It&#8217;s easy to forget that food safety is the most important ingredient. Proper handling, cleaning, and cooking can make a healthy, safe, and delicious meal. Take a look at these Thanksgiving food safety tips below to have an enjoyable holiday with family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>  \u00a0 <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When you go to the supermarket, check the quality of all products that you buy. Check the color, firmness and texture of the produce and meats, and check expiration dates.<\/li>\n<li>Overcrowding the freezer can raise temperatures dangerously high and spoil your food.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t defrost your turkey at room temperature because bacteria might grow. Defrost your turkey in the fridge a few days before Thanksgiving.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure that the turkey is thawed before you place it in the oven. If you put a frozen turkey in the oven, the inside won&#8217;t cook properly and the outside will burn.<\/li>\n<li>To ensure harmful bacteria are killed, the turkey should be cooked where its internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. The turkey stuffing should also be cooked until it reaches 165 degrees.<\/li>\n<li>While preparing food, wash your hands thoroughly to prevent the spread of bacteria.<\/li>\n<li>Raw turkey and fresh produce don&#8217;t mix. When prepping, keep these foods on separate surfaces to prevent cross contamination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep the food in the fridge or freezer until you need to use it. The longer food sits out, the more likely food bugs will appear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Make sure you handle your food properly by following these Thanksgiving Food
