Make Thanksgiving Safe, Delicious, and Happy

USA.gov offers these tips to keep your Thanksgiving safe and fun:

  • Make sure all food is cooked properly.  Know how to prevent bacteria from getting into the food and causing food borne illness.  The U.S. Department of Agriculture posts advice on storing and preparing food for groups whether you are cooking in advance or the day of the event.
  • A good rule of thumb when buying turkey is to allow one pound per person.  Always follow these important guidelines while preparing the turkey.
  • Remember to keep young children out of the way of the oven and other hot cooking appliances.

Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving or just contributing to the meal, remembering these food safety tips can help keep your holiday happy.
