In a conventional oven,
dry Turkey can be caused
by cooking tbe bird at
temperatures higher than
the 325 degrees most cook
books recommend. Keep
ing the turkey covered

help keep the bird moist.
Q. A USD A pnhUcatlan
says I shewn wait a
period of time after cook
ing tarkey before I carve it.
Why?
A. After microwaving
your turkey, you should let
it stand for at least 10
minutes before serving.
During this time the bird is
still cooking. The extra
time allows heat to spread
evenly throughout the meat
and the temperature of the
bird to rise to the finish
ing point. When the stand
ing time is over, you may
carve. * •
You should let a bird
stand 20 minutes after
roasting in a conventional
oven, too. If you try to slice
it too soon, the flesh may
fragment. Give it time to
cool and the buices to be
re-absorbed, and the meat
will be a firm texture that
produces picture-book
slices.
