PLANNING YOUR MEAL: A FEW POINTS TO REMEMBER

•Allow between 1 to 5 days for turkeys to defrost, depending on the size.

•1 pound of turkey per person should be plenty.

•Follow recipe suggestions below.

•Time each side dish and the turkey to ensure proper preparation, cook time, rest time, and carve time for each item. Plan out which item will be cooked first and which could be kept warm after cooking.

•The Dacor oven has two timers that are extremely handy for large meals. Set them as a reminder for placing the second and third dishes in the oven or on the cooktop.

PROPER THAWING OF A TURKEY

Freezing turkeys may prevent bacteria from growing, but it does not kill bacteria. Therefore, it is important to keep turkeys out of the Temperature Danger Zone- 40˚F – 140˚F. Never attempt to defrost a turkey by placing it on the counter. This can cause foodborne illness.
