Salmonella contamination in turkey is widespread and unidentified as Thanksgiving approaches

They are saying Jeanie-O today. it could be some other brand tomorrow. So I would advise you to throw all turkey away and not purchase any until we get the all clear. Switch it up to ground chicken if you're not a vegan nor a beef/pork eater.

The reason you should leave any and all turkey alone is because you have no idea which farm this stuff actually comes from. even if you read the label and it says splashmtn's farm. That could actually be half true. meaning we make 50% of our own stuff, the other 50% comes from another larger farm. You think "but i shop at trader joes...whole foods..." Doesnt matter. you still dont know which farm this stuff comes from. Dont become a victim.

Just put some cranberry sauce on it, bless it, and be done with it.

To the people who are cooking turkey because it's Thanksgiving and that's what people do:

Store the turkey at proper temperature, around 38 degrees. Do not thaw at room temperature. Thaw in the refrigerator (look up number days required depending on weight of bird). The salmonella is mostly on the outside of the bird and gets transferred to the rest of the bird by humans handling the raw bird. Wash turkey thoroughly, using proper sanitation techniques (don't cross contaminate board, soap sponge, knife or other food ingredients), use disposable paper towels and disposable gloves if possible. Cook white meat to 165 degrees and dark meat to 185 degrees and it should kill most of the bacteria. Don't stuff the bird because the internal temperature of the stuffing may not reach 185 degrees.

The main problem is unsafe FOOD HANDLING by humans transferring the salmonella on the outside of the bird to the raw flesh of the bird or cross contaminating cutting boards, knives, sponges, etc. or not washing hands thoroughly then touching raw onions, etc.

(I'm not advocating one way or the other, just passing along sanitation advice.)

Can I use this as an excuse to not have to eat turkey on Thanksgiving? I think I will. Bring on the roast beef!

Don't cross contaminate your mashed potatoes with cranberry sauce. Most vital rule of Thxgiving.

Good information. I had to get a food handlers certification when I ran our youth football snack bar and had no idea how clueless I was regarding safe food handling procedures.

Having dinner with my niece. Talked about the contamination. I don't think she's taking it as seriously as I am. Told her I'm not feeling safe about turkey. She's going to have a roast also so I'll have that.

Try sitting in on one of your son’s basic science classes...

Let's be honest. They're just winging it.

This made me laugh. And it would probably kill all the salmonella:
