Turkey? Check. Fixin's? Check. Centerpiece? Check.
Salmonella? Let's keep that one off the menu.
Being the perfect host or hostess is not just about a beautiful table or delicious food. It's also about keeping your family and friends food safe - you don't want to be remembered as the host or hostess who sent their guests to the hospital at the holidays.
The Fit Foody, food and safety expert Mareya Ibrahim, has a few simple tricks of the trade to show how to keep the holiday season happy and worry free.
- Don't let fowl go foul: For your main event, taking measures to clean and prep your turkey properly can help your table be Salmonella-free.
- Pick and clean fixin's properly: Before your produce reaches you, it has been touched by around 20 different sets of hands and has traveled at least 1,500 miles. Preparation and handling is key to producing food borne illness-free results.
- Cook it done: You can't judge a bird by it's color. Get the right temps to reach for all your cooked proteins along with fun high tech ways to make sure you're getting the turkey job done.
- Keep it cool: Don't let the tryptophan kick in, because the bacteria will become an unwelcome guest at exponential speed. Why it's important to clean up now so you can enjoy leftovers later.
