Alice Henneman, fromDAVISNebraska Extension,has somegreat tips for thosewho may be planningto prep<strong>are</strong>their turkey oneday ahead of time.Wait about 20minutes after removingturkeyfrom the oven toallow the juicesto distribute.Slice breast meat;legs and wings may be leftwhole. Place turkey in shallowcontainers; limit depthto less than 2 inches. Metalcontainers cool faster thanglass-type pans.Also, refrigerate any brothsaved for making gravy inshallow containers. Refrigerateturkey loosely covered.You can place loosely coveredfoods in the refrigeratorwhile still warm; covertightly when food is completelycooled. When servingyour turkey the next day,the USDA Meat and PoultryHotline advises that cookedturkey may be eaten coldor reheated. To reheat yourturkey, USDA gives the followingrecommendations:Set the oven temperatureno lower than 325 degrees F.Reheat turkey to an internaltemperature of 165 degreesF. Use a food thermometerto check the internal temperature.To keep the turkeymoist, add a little broth orwater and cover.If you plan to use the microwaveoven, cover yourfood and rotate it for evenheating. Allow standingtime. Check the internaltemperature of your foodwith a food thermometer tomake sure it reaches 165 degreesF.If you’re planning to traveland bring the turkey, it’ssafest and easiest to travelwith it pre-cooked and cold.Carry it in an insulated coolerwith lots of ice or frozengel-packs to keep the coolertemperature under 40 degreesFahrenheit. Then reheatthe turkey at your finaldestination.After your meal, eitherfreeze leftover turkey orplan to eat it within threeor four days of the day itwas originally prep<strong>are</strong>d. Eatgravy within one to two daysof original preparation date.Once removed from theoven, the reheated turkeyshouldn’t set at room temperaturelonger than twohours total time. For bestsafety and quality, avoid reheatingand cooling turkeymultiple times. Discard anyturkey, stuffing and gravyleft out at room temperaturelonger than two hours or onehour in temperatures above90 degrees Fahrenheit.Shift ratesintolowJohn Winder, D.D.S., Inc.F A M I L Y D E N T I S T RY5 0 1 S .

Extension AgentIt is my opinion that most livestock shows<strong>are</strong> won during the 48 to 72 hours prior toactual show time.This includes the stress of loading, haulngand unloading of animals at the show.t is very important to make your animalsomfortable and keep them as stress-free asossible.Some people think that all of your works done before you load your animals to goo the show, but one must remember thathere <strong>are</strong> several excellent individuals thatFOCUS ON 4-Hcould be just as good as yours. The secret ishaving your animal look and feel his best atthe time you walk him into the ring.A fresh handling, well-groomed and alertanimal will catch a judge’s eye more than astale, soft, dull and depressed looking animal.It will be beneficial for your animal to beaccustomed to loud and strange noises oncethey <strong>are</strong> at the show. I suggest you leave aradio playing in the barn when you first receiveyour animals.
