Is the Turkey Done Yet?

A Step-by-Step Guide to Cooking Safely

The turkey is golden brown, the kitchen smells amazing, and your guests may be telling you it’s ready to eat. But looks can be deceiving when it comes to cooking poultry. The only way to know if your turkey is both done AND safe is to use a food thermometer. Undercooked poultry can cause foodborne illness, and the thermometer takes out the guesswork.

Follow these steps for a safe and delicious holiday meal.

Step 1: Prepare Your Thermometer

  • Have your food thermometer ready and know how to use it before the turkey comes out of the oven.
  • Follow steps for calibrating your thermometer if needed.

Step 2: Cook Your Turkey

  • Pick a turkey cooking method that you’ll be able to safely execute.
  • If roasting in the oven, set your oven temperature no lower than 325 degrees F.
  • If using a different cooking method, like frying or grilling, follow safe steps found here.

Step 3: Check Three Key Spots

  • Use a food thermometer to confirm your turkey has reached 165 degrees F in all three of these places:
    • Thickest part of the breast
    • Innermost part of the thigh
    • Innermost part of the wing
  • Avoid touching bone, fat, or gristle.

Step 4: Rest and Serve

  • After confirming your turkey reached 165 degrees F, let the turkey rest for 20 minutes before carving to help juices set.
  • Serve immediately or keep cooked turkey hot above 140 degrees F until ready to serve.

Quick Takeaway

No matter what your Uncle Joe says, you cannot tell if a turkey is done just by looking. A food thermometer is the only reliable way to make sure your holiday meal is safe. Don’t have one? Add it to your shopping list today.

Red Cross offers steps to help you avoid a cooking fire on Thanksgiving

0

Thanksgiving is a peak day for home cooking fires in the U.S.

INDIANA, November 24, 2025 — Thanksgiving and the day before are the top two days in this country for the chance of a cooking fire to happen in someone’s home. Cooking causes an average of 158,400 home fires per year, which is 44% of all home fires in the United States. The Indiana Region of the American Red Cross offers safety steps everyone can follow if they will be preparing their family’s Thanksgiving feast.

Cooking is the leading cause of home fires, home fire injuries and the second leading cause of home fire deaths. Most happen because people leave cooking food unattended. We want everyone to have a safe, enjoyable holiday, so don’t leave the kitchen while you’re cooking.

COOKING SAFETY TIPS Follow these safety tips and visit redcross.org/fire for more information, including a fire escape plan to practice with your family.

  • Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling or broiling food. If you must leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.
  • Use a timer to remind yourself that the stove or oven is on.
  • Avoid wearing loose clothing or dangling sleeves while cooking.
  • Keep kids and pets at least three feet away from cooking areas.
  • Keep anything that can catch on fire — potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper or plastic bags, food packaging, and towels or curtains — away from your stove top and oven or any other appliance that generates heat.
  • Clean cooking surfaces on a regular basis to prevent grease buildup.
  • Consider purchasing a fire extinguisher to keep in your kitchen.
  • Always check the kitchen before going to bed or leaving home to make sure all stoves, ovens and small appliances are turned off.

Smoke alarms save lives. Install a smoke alarm near your kitchen, on each level of your home, near sleeping areas, and inside and outside bedrooms if you sleep with doors closed. Use the test button to check it each month. Replace all batteries at least once a year. If you cannot afford to purchase smoke alarms or are physically unable to install one, the Red Cross may be able to help. Visitredcross.org/inhomefire for more information.

 

HOME FIRE CAMPAIGN SAVES LIVES Since October 2014, the Red Cross Home Fire Campaign, working with community partners, has saved at least 2,519 lives by educating families about fire safety, helping them create escape plans and installing free smoke alarms in high-risk areas across the country. To learn more about the campaign and how you can get involved, visit redcross.org/homefires.
