Frequently asked
Internal temp for turkey?
70 °C is the sweet spot — fully cooked but still juicy. For safety it shouldn't drop below 65 °C, but anything above 75 °C dries it out.
How long does it keep for meal prep?
3–4 days in a sealed container in the fridge. Slice the turkey cold (juicier), then warm in the microwave at 600 W for 90 seconds.
