What is the name for a baby turkey?
A baby turkey is called a poult and is tan and brown. • What is the formula to determine the amount of marinade to use to inject a turkey? We recommend about one ounce of marinade per pound of turkey. Remember turkey should always be marinated in the refrigerator. • Can I safely roast a turkey in a slow/low (200 degrees F) oven overnight? The overnight slow-roasting method is unsafe because it involves cooking the turkey at 190 to 200 degrees F for 12 to 14+ hours. There are several versions of the slow-cooking method but all of them put you, your family and dinner guests at risk for foodborne illness (food poisoning). The turkey will take much longer to heat and the warm oven temperature provides an ideal environment for bacterial growth. Roasting turkey at an oven temperature set below 325 degrees F allows bacteria, which may be present on raw turkey, to multiply. The risk of harmful bacteria growth will increase with the chance that toxins will not be destroyed with further cooking.
