Enjoy the food and avoid food poisoning this Thanksgiving. With so many planning on cooking or preparing food this week, it is crucial to keep in mind food safety tips to keep you and your loved ones safe from foodborne illness.

 

Kansas State Research and Extension Food Safety Agent Holly Miner says cooking your stuffing outside of the turkey, in a separate dish, is the safest way to prepare it.

 

Preparing a large bird can be challenging, but Miner says using a food thermometer to monitor the process of cooking your turkey will be the best bet.  Using these tips can help you prepare food that not only tastes good but is also safe and prepared properly.
