Leam turkey cooking basics

By Mary Ann Lienhart-Cross Extension Educator, EUtart County I realize Halloween just happened but more families are having their Thanksgiving dinner earlier and I have already been receiving calls concerning turkey buying and cooking. Turkey is really an easy meat to cook; it’s the amount to buy and the safe way to thaw it that raise the most questions. You’ll need about one pound per person, or a pound and half per person if you have hearty eaters or want ample leftovers. If you’re having a large gathering you want to prepare the turkey a day or two ahead, have it all carved and then the day of the meal all you have to do is heat it If you do this, make sure to put some turkey broth over it and to cover it when heating. This will keep it from dtying out. While the quality and taste of frozen versus fresh turkey are quite similar, the keeping time is not. A frozen turkey can be purchased months in advance, but a fresh bird should be bought only 1 to 2 days ahead. There are basically two types of raw birds to choose from, a prebasted bird which typically includes vegetable oil, broth, spices and the un-basted bird to which nothing has been added. If you’re counting fat grams, cook the un-basted bird in a cooking bag. This should give you really moist turkey that is lower in fat. USDA Grade A is the highest quality grade for poultry and the most common one in stores. Grade A poultry has good shape and structure, fat covering, and is free of pinBirths Bill and Stacey Feller, Nappanee, daughter, Ashlyn Marie, bom November 3 at Elkhart General Hospital.

feathers and defects such as cuts and bruises. Age and not gender, is the determining factor for tenderness. All turkeys in the market are young, usually 4-6 months old. A hen generally weighs less than 16 pounds and atom is usually over 16 pounds. It is best to defrost your turkey in the refrigerator. The rule of thumb is a minimum of 24 hours of defrost time for every 5 pounds of turkey. Thus it can take four to five days to defrost a 20 pound turkey. Once defrosted, a completely thawed bird will last for an additional day or two in the refrigerator. If you want to speed up a defrosting time, it is safe to defrost the bird in a large utility sink of cold water. Submerge the wrapped bird in cold water. Check or change the water every 30 minutes to make sure it remains cold. Allow 30 minutes per pound. When roasting the turkey allow roughly 15-18 minutes per pound for an unstuffed bird and 18-24 minutes per pound for a stuffed bird. Have your oven preheated to 325° F. To determine doneness, use a meat thermometer; a whole turkey is done when the temperature reaches 180° F. The juices should run clear and the stuffing temperature should reach at least 165° F. Keep in mind that cooking temperatures do vary! Every year people wonder why their tuikey is done too early or too late. There are many reasons such as the oven temperature may not be accurate, the turkey is still partially frozen in the center, or the roasting pan is too small and heat flow is inhibited.
