Study Notes
Cooking Methods for Mature Birds
- Roasting is the best cooking method for mature birds, as it allows for even browning and crisping of the skin.
Stuffing and Microbial Contamination
- Stuffing of turkey and chickens should be done just before cooking to prevent microbial contamination.
- This is because bacteria can multiply rapidly between 40°F and 140°F, the temperature range of a stuffed bird.
Handling Leftover Stuffing
- Leftover stuffing should be refrigerated or frozen promptly to prevent contamination.
- It should be reheated to an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure food safety.
Cooking Temperature for Poultry
- The recommended cooking temperature for poultry is 165°F to ensure food safety.
Achieving a Brown Color for Poultry Meat
