Avoid food poisoning! TODAY is a good day to thaw your bird in the refrigerator (never on the counter!) Follow 4 steps to food safety:​ 1. Wash hands with soap before & after touching raw meat.​ 2. Keep raw meat separate from ready-to-eat foods (use separate plates, utensils, cutting boards, etc.).​ 3. Cook to the right temp (use a meat thermometer). ​4. Refrigerate within 2 hours in small batches so it cools quickly and evenly.
