PLANNING YOUR MEAL: A FEW POINTS TO REMEMBER
• Allow between 1 to 5 days for turkeys to defrost, depending on the size.
• Typically 1 pound of turkey per person should be plenty.
• Calculate the time needed for each side dish and the turkey to insure proper preparation, cook time, rest time and carve
time for each item. From there, determine which item needs to be cooked first and which can be prepared early and kept
warm till serving.
• Your Dacor oven has two timers that are extremely handy for large meals. Set them to remind you when to place the 2nd
and 3rd dishes in the oven or on the cooktop.
PROPER THAWING OF YOUR TURKEY
Frozen turkeys may prevent bacteria from growing, but it does not kill them. Therefore, it is important to keep turkeys out of
the Temperature Danger Zone- 40˚F – 140˚F. Never defrost a turkey by placing it on the counter. It can cause foodborne illness.
