Correctly preparing your Thanksgiving food will keep your family safe this holiday
In a 2020 survey, 78% of participants reported washing or rinsing turkey before cooking, according to the CDC. "Old recipes and family cooking traditions may keep this practice going, but it can make you and your family sick," the CDC states on its website.
Wash your hands with warm water and soap for 20 seconds before and after handling poultry. Use a separate cutting board and wash any dishes or utensils the turkey touches.
