Turkey time

Many of you may have already started thinking about preparing your meal for next week's holiday. MU Extension and Missouri Families has a handout available to help with purchasing, thawing, and cooking your turkey.

The information includes:

• Selecting a turkey (fresh vs. frozen)
• Storage and thawing
• Cooking (roasting, smoking, frying)

Too much turkey leftover after the meal? The University of Nebraska Lincoln Extension has 4 soup recipes and a salad recipe for your leftover turkey.

There are also videos on thawing a turkey, cooking a turkey, and other Thanksgiving tips on the University of Nebraska Lincoln website.

For more information, or for other information about healthy eating, food safety, physical activity, etc, check out the Missouri Families website.
