Found this in a magazine this weekend and thought of this thread... 
Golden rules for safe turkeys:
If you're roasting turkey for the big day, follow these instructions before cooking, make sure frozen turkey is completely defrosted.
* Remember to wash your hands before and after handling turkey
* Always keep raw poultry away from food that is ready to eat
* Store raw turkey in the bottom of the fridge
* Clean worktops, dishes, utensils and chopping boards after they have touched raw poultry
* Do not wash your turkey - bacteria will splash onto surrounding surfaces. Proper cooking will kill any bacteria
* Keep leftover turkey in the fridge. Only take out as much as you need each time
* If reheating, make sure it is piping hot all the way through before you eat it. Don't reheat more than once. Try to use leftover within 48 hours.
