Turkey Tips
Keeping food safe is important each and every day! During the holidays, when festive preparations are being made and menus are being written, it is just as critical. Please remember when compiling your holiday grocery list to also review your food safety checklist. We often find we don't have enough room in our refrigerators for all we have planned for and food does stay out longer than usual, as family conversations linger.
Our first goal needs to be serving safe food to our families and to our guests. I have compiled some websites to answer commonly asked food preparation/turkey preparation questions during the holidays. Have a safe and peaceful holiday season!
