Thanksgiving is just around
the comer! By now you are prob-
ably already planning your holi-
day meal with turkey and all the
trimmings. For some cooks, the
turkey poses the greatest chal-
lenge of the entire meal. The
USDA Food Safety and Inspec-
tion Service offers very useful
tips on preparing a turkey.
If you have purchased a fro-
zen turkey, you must first thaw
it properly. One way to safely
thaw your turkey is in the refrig-
erator where the thermostat is
set for 40 degrees F. or below.
Allow approximately 24 hours
for every 4 to 5 pounds.
So if you have a large bird, it
could take several days to thaw
it out. Do not remove the bird
from its original wrapper dur-
ing this process and also put a
pan underneath it to catch any
juices that might leak. Once it is
thawed completely, it can remain
in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days
before you cook it.
Another technique is to
submerge your turkey in cold
water, changing the water about
every 30 minutes. Make sure it
is wrapped securely to ensure
that water does not penetrate
the wrapper. If you choose that
method of thawing, you must
cook the turkey immediately.
Allow approximately 30 minutes
per pound with that process.
A couple of important things to
keep in mind during your prepa-
rations are to always remove the
giblets from the cavity once the
bird is thawed and cook them
separately.
Also, do not thaw pre-stuffed
turkeys before cooking. It is rec-
ommended by the USDA to buy
only frozen pre-stuffed turkeys
that have the USDA or state
mark of inspection on the pack-
age. They have been processed
under controlled conditions
which prevent harmful bacteria
from developing in the stuffing.
Now you are ready to roast
the turkey! Again, keep in mind
to allow adequate time to make
sure your turkey is thoroughly
cooked and ready for the table at
the appropriate time. The times
vary according to the size of your
bird. For example, a 12 to 14-
pound bird will take anywhere
from 3 to 3-1/2 hours to cook.
Always check the internal tem-
perature with a food thermom-
eter; it should be cooked to 165
degrees F. Stick the thermometer
in the innermost part of the thigh
and wing and the thickest part of
the breast.
For more detailed information
on poultry preparation, call the
USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline
at 1-800-256-7072 or visit the
website at www.fsis.usda.gov or
call the Texas AgriLife Exten-
sion Service office at 903/473-
5000, ext. 157. Hopefully, these
hints will ensure a perfect turkey
for your holiday table.
This week I want to include a
very special recipe given to my
Granny, Lorene Hennen, from
her sister, Mary Jewel Shumate.
She gave her this recipe many
years ago. It is very special
because not only is it a wonder-
ful compliment to turkey and
dressing, but I always think of
her and my Granny as I prepare
it each year. So I hope you enjoy
this recipe as much as my family
does.
Cranberry-Jaiapeno Relish
2 medium oranges, peeled, sec-
tioned and chopped
1 1/2 tsp. orange zest
2 jalapenos, seeded and chopped
34 cup sugar
1 pound fresh cranberries
1 TBLS. chopped, fresh mint
leaves
Process all ingredients, except
mint, in a food processor. Do
not over-process, your mixture
should be coarsely chopped. Add
mint and chill for at least 30
minutes.
