1 FAMILY & CONSUMER SCIENCES NEWSLETTER Vegetarian 101 Leader Lesson Every day we make choices about what we will eat. Some of us choose foods without much thought. Others make choices based on their health goals. For approximately 6 to 8 million adults in the United States those food choices include no meat, fish, or poultry. So why are so many people choosing a vegetarian diet? What are the health benefits? If they don t eat meat, where do they get their protein? If you have questions like the ones above, make sure to come to the Vegetarian 101 program hosted by the Fayette County Office. The program will be held on November 16th at 10:00a.m. Participants will learn about terms, concepts, health benefits and challenges associated with vegetarianism. They will also get the chance to sample an easy and quick vegetarian recipe.

5 Let's Talk Turkey A Consumer Guide to Safely Roasting a Turkey Fresh or Frozen? Fresh Turkeys Allow 1 pound of turkey per person. Buy your turkey only 1 to 2 days before you plan to cook it. Keep it stored in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook it. Place it on a tray or in a pan to catch any juices that may leak. Do not buy fresh pre-stuffed turkeys. If not handled properly, any harmful bacteria that may be in the stuffing can multiply very quickly. Frozen Turkeys Allow 1 pound of turkey per person. Keep frozen until you're ready to thaw it. Turkeys can be kept frozen in the freezer indefinitely; however, cook within 1 year for best quality. See "Thawing Your Turkey" for thawing instructions. Frozen Pre-Stuffed Turkeys USDA recommends only buying frozen pre-stuffed turkeys that display the USDA or State mark of inspection on the packaging. These turkeys are safe because they have been processed under controlled conditions. DO NOT THAW before cooking. Cook from the frozen state. Follow package directions for proper handling and cooking. Allow 1¼ pounds of turkey per person. Thawing Your Turkey There are three ways to thaw your turkey safely in the refrigerator, in cold water, or in the microwave oven. In the Refrigerator (40 F or below) Allow approximately 24 hours for every 4 to 5 pounds 4 to 12 pounds 1 to 3 days 12 to 16 pounds 3 to 4 days 16 to 20 pounds 4 to 5 days 20 to 24 pounds 5 to 6 days Keep the turkey in its original wrapper. Place it on a tray or in a pan to catch any juices that may leak. A thawed turkey can remain in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. If necessary, a turkey that has been properly thawed in the refrigerator may be refrozen. In Cold Water Allow approximately 30 minutes per pound 4 to 12 pounds 2 to 6 hours 12 to 16 pounds 6 to 8 hours 16 to 20 pounds 8 to 10 hours 20 to 24 pounds 10 to 12 hours Wrap your turkey securely, making sure the water is not able to leak through the wrapping. Submerge your wrapped turkey in cold tap water. Change the water every 30 minutes. Cook the turkey immediately after it is thawed. Do not refreeze. In the Microwave Oven Check your owner's manual for the size turkey that will fit in your microwave oven, the minutes per pound and power level to use for thawing. Remove all outside wrapping. Place on a microwave-safe dish to catch any juices that may leak. Cook your turkey immediately. Do not refreeze or refrigerate your turkey after thawing in the microwave oven. REMINDER: Remove the giblets from the turkey cavities after thawing. Cook separately. Roasting Your Turkey Set your oven temperature no lower than 325 F. Place your turkey or turkey breast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. For optimum safety, stuffing a turkey is not recommended. For more even cooking, it is recommended you cook your stuffing outside the bird in a casserole. Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the stuffing. The stuffing must reach a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 F. If you choose to stuff your turkey, the ingredients can be prepared ahead of time; however, keep wet and dry ingredients separate. Chill all of the wet ingredients (butter/margarine, cooked celery and onions, broth, etc.). Mix wet and dry ingredients just before filling the turkey cavities. Fill the cavities loosely. Cook the turkey immediately. Use a food thermometer to make sure the center of the stuffing reaches a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 F. A whole turkey is safe when cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165 F as measured with a food thermometer. Check the internal temperature in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast. For reasons of personal preference, consumers may choose to cook turkey to higher temperatures. If your turkey has a "pop-up" temperature indicator, it is recommended that you also check the internal temperature of the turkey in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast with a food thermometer. The minimum internal temperature should reach 165 F for safety. For quality, let the turkey stand for 20 minutes before carving to allow juices to set. The turkey will carve more easily. Remove all stuffing from the turkey cavities. Timetables for Turkey Roasting (325 F oven temperature) Use the timetables below to determine how long to cook your turkey. These times are approximate. Always use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of your turkey and stuffing. Unstuffed 4 to 8 pounds (breast) 1½ to 3¼ hours 8 to 12 pounds 2¾ to 3 hours 12 to 14 pounds 3 to 3¾ hours 14 to 18 pounds 3¾ to 4¼ hours 18 to 20 pounds 4¼ to 4½ hours 20 to 24 pounds 4½ to 5 hours (continued on next page)

6 Let's Talk Turkey A Consumer Guide to Safely Roasting a Turkey Fresh or Frozen? (continued) Stuffed 4 to 6 pounds (breast) Not usually applicable 6 to 8 pounds (breast) 2½ to 3½ hours 8 to 12 pounds 3 to 3½ hours 12 to 14 pounds 3½ to 4 hours 14 to 18 pounds 4 to 4¼ hours 18 to 20 pounds 4¼ to 4¾ hours 20 to 24 pounds 4¾ to 5¼ hours It is safe to cook a turkey from the frozen state. The cooking time will take at least 50 percent longer than recommended for a fully thawed turkey. Remember to remove the giblet packages during the cooking time. Remove carefully with tongs or a fork. Optional Cooking Hints Tuck wing tips under the shoulders of the bird for more even cooking. This is referred to as "akimbo." Add ½ cup of water to the bottom of the pan. If your roasting pan does not have a lid, you may place a tent of heavy-duty aluminum foil over the turkey for the first 1 to 1 ½ hours. This allows for maximum heat circulation, keeps the turkey moist, and reduces oven splatter. To prevent overbrowning, foil may also be placed over the turkey after it reaches the desired color. If using an oven-proof food thermometer, place it in the turkey at the start of the cooking cycle. It will allow you to check the internal temperature of the turkey while it is cooking. For turkey breasts, place thermometer in the thickest part. For whole turkeys, place in the thickest part of the inner thigh. Once the thigh has reached 165 F, check the wing and the thickest part of the breast to ensure the turkey has reached a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 F throughout the product. If using an oven cooking bag, follow the manufacturer's guidelines on the package. REMEMBER! Always wash hands, utensils, the sink, and anything else that comes in contact with raw turkey and its juices with soap and water. For information on other methods for cooking a turkey, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline MPHotline ( ) Storing Your Leftovers Discard any turkey, stuffing, and gravy left out at room temperature longer than 2 hours; 1 hour in temperatures above 90 F. Divide leftovers into smaller portions. Refrigerate or freeze in covered shallow containers for quicker cooling. Use refrigerated turkey, stuffing, and gravy within 3 to 4 days. If freezing leftovers, use within 2 to 6 months for best quality. Reheating Your Turkey Cooked turkey may be eaten cold or reheated. In the Oven Set the oven temperature no lower than 325 F. Reheat turkey to an internal temperature of 165 F. Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature. To keep the turkey moist, add a little broth or water and cover. In the Microwave Oven Cover your food and rotate it for even heating. Allow standing time. Check the internal temperature of your food with a food thermometer to make sure it reaches 165 F. Consult your microwave oven owner's manual for recommended times and power levels. For more information about food safety (in English and Spanish), call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline, MPHotline ( ) - 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday. mphotline.fsis@usda.gov Or "Ask Karen," FSIS' Web-based automated response system - available 24/7 at Source: fsis.usda.gov Money is often tight during the holiday season. Layaway can be a useful purchasing strategy that helps you avoid credit card debt. Layaway allows you to pay overtime for an item. The item remains in the store until it is paid in full. Tips to keep in mind when purchasing an item through layaway: Using Layaway During the Holidays Layaway is a great way to avoid credit card interest; however, you may still be charge a service fee. Be certain to ask about fees, before entering items into layaway, so you know exactly how much you are paying. You will want to be aware of when payments start, when they are due and when is the last date you can make a payment. Be certain to ask about late payment penalties and fees. Layaway allows you to lock-in a given price. Ask the stores policy regarding price changes. Some stores will honor sale prices later, while others will not. Some retailers will put a limit on the types of items that can be put on layaway. Being aware if the store s layaway policy will help you know if your items are eligible. Source: Jennifer L.
