Talking Turkey

There are literally hundreds of ways to cook a turkey and each year new recipes and techniques are created based on trendy regional ingredients and creative cooking methods. Some are good, some are bad, and some are downright unsafe. All are designed to tantalize the senses and produce the perfect turkey - moist breast meat, tender legs and thighs, golden brown skin and memorable flavor. Believe it or not, cooking a turkey is not that difficult. Which turkey cooking method chosen is up to the cook, just make sure it is a safe method.

Pete Snyder runs the Hospitality Institute of Technology and Management and is a frequent contributor to FOODSAFE, a food safety listserv. By beginning with the science of the recipe, Dr. Snyder strives to have one set of science-based food safety rules for everyone, from retail food operations to the home. He took on turkeys a few years ago and showed how you can cook a bird right from the freezer and skip the messy thawing part.

This week, how to cook a turkey from the frozen state.
