Now, you might be thinking, what's the big deal about temperature control? Well, let me tell you, it's crucial when it comes to keeping your turkey fresh and safe to eat. If the temperature in your fridge is above 40°F (4°C), bacteria can start to grow, and you might end up with a foodborne illness on your hands.
So, to avoid any unwanted guests at your dinner table, make sure your fridge is set at the right temperature, and always check the temperature of your turkey before storing it. You can use a food thermometer to ensure it's at a safe temperature - 165°F (74°C) for cooked turkey.
