It's not like Americans have been cooking turkeys for 300 years or something....... [/quote] Imagine, THIS YEAR many immune systems compromised. That's why, I think all of the sudden... [/quote] It's probably the reason they are starting to push the flu vaccine. Last year, the flu vaccine was being pushed hard in Aug, at least here. This year, nothing really on the Telelie about them until this week. When the Telelie's news start talking about turkeys, I knew then that there was something wrong. Here, on the news, they talked of a "turkey shortage", however the stores are stocked with plenty, at low prices. Then there's the give-away of a free turkey. Nope, something is definitely is wrong with those turkeys. I didn't buy one or cared for the free offer. [/quote]
Original Message
With Thanksgiving almost here, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued tips on the safest way to prepare your turkey.
First of all, you should not wash or rinse your bird. That may seem counterintuitive, but washing the turkey can spread germs and bacteria all over your kitchen.

Do not wash or rinse raw turkey. Federal food safety advice has recommended against washing turkey or chicken since 2005, but some habits are hard to break. A 2020 survey* found that 78% of participants reported washing or rinsing turkey before cooking. Old recipes and family cooking traditions may tempt you to keep this practice going, but it can make you and your family sick. Poultry juices can spread in the kitchen and contaminate other foods, utensils, and countertops.
