The USDA wants you t be safe this Thanksgiving

The US Department of Agriculture wants to help you this Thanksgiving, by making sure that the Thanksgiving turkey that you serve your family is cooked properly.

The Food Safety and Inspection Service page on the USDA Website provides many tips on cooking, thawing, and storing the leftover Turkey.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture will also have their Turkey Hotline open today for anyone needing advice on how to get your turkey from oven to table.

Their Turkey Hotline will be available from 8a to 2p for anyone who needs some last minute advice.  That number is toll-free 1-888-674-6854.

You can either speak to a real person or choose from a list of pre-recorded topics.
