Safe Poultry Handling

Chicken and turkey should be cooked to an internal temperature of 180°F in order to kill any harmful bacteria that might be lurking in the raw meat. Never place raw poultry next to foods that will be consumed raw — like salad veggies and fruit. Always give utensils and platters that have come in contact with raw poultry a good wash with soap and water.
