HomeSafeSouthFlorida is dedicated to keeping your home safe throughout the year. We are there to see the things you cannot see and to teach you about problems that may be on the horizon. In the spirit of having a safe holiday, I have included a list of USDA publications for safely preparing your Thanksgiving meal.
- Ask Karen - Consumers can obtain food safety information 24 hours a day though FSIS' virtual representative, "Ask Karen," at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Food_Safety_Education/
Ask_Karen/. - Meat and Poultry Hotline - The Hotline is staffed Monday through Friday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Eastern Time, year-round. It will be available from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern Time on Thanksgiving Day. Consumers are encouraged to contact the Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline or 1-888-674-6854. E-mail inquiries may be directed to MPHotline.fsis@usda.gov.
- Let's Talk Turkey - Every facet of getting a turkey from the store to the dinner table is included in this publication: buying fresh vs. frozen, safe thawing methods, stuffing, roasting, storing leftover turkey and reheating the leftovers. The brochure is available at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/PDF/Lets_Talk_Turkey.pdf.
- Turkey: Alternate Routes to the Table - This publication addresses ways to safely cook a turkey other than roasting it in the oven. Smoking, grilling, electric roaster-oven and other methods are addressed. The information is available at: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/PDF/

We hope all of you have the safest and happiest of holidays and we look forward to serving all of your home inspection needs in the years to come.
