At what temperature do you bake homemade stuffing and for how long?
You should roast a turkey about twenty minutes per pound, but more importantly, it should be brought to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not roast it to that temp though. At about 150 to 155 degrees, remove it from the oven and seal it tightly in foil for about fifteen minutes before serving. The carry over in temp will cause the internal temp to rise to 160 or higher. Stuffing inside a turkey should be removed and either microwaved or baked separately for a short time.
Precise steps in poultry processing prevent contamination and produce a bird that is not tough or marred with skin blemishes. Poultry goes through stunning, killing, bleeding, and scalding processes before oil glands, feet, and head are removed. After the birds are washed, they are quickly chilled before being cut up, aged, and packaged for distribution.
Birds are usually crated and transported to poultry processing plants, where they are kept in holding areas that are ventilated and misted. A special blue light is sometimes used to keep the birds calm once they are hung on racks for the stunning step, because flapping wings can cause internal bleeding that discolors the meat. The birds are commonly dipped into saline water with an electrical current that renders them unconscious for a minute or two. Radon gas is used in some regions to stun poultry, but it is considered more expensive.
The brief period a bird remains unconscious gives the processing plant enough time to kill it and allow it to bleed out. Draining the blood prevents the meat from appearing dark. In large poultry processing facilities, the blood is treated as a waste product and pollutant.
Birds then move to scalding tanks, where hot water loosens feathers for picking. It is important to keep water temperate regulated to prevent cooking the bird. Water must also be changed frequently to avoid contamination. After scalding, the poultry is kept moist so the skin does not begin to darken.
Does Jennie-o frozen turkey breast contain MSG?
I can tell you this, I get severe headaches from eating jennie-o sun dried tomato turkey. That is the same symptom I experience when getting a dose of MSG.
Is poultry inspection and grading mandatory?
When eggs are sold to market in stores, YES The Food & Drug Inspection Agency in the U.S. and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in Canada both require the hens and the eggs to be inspected and the eggs graded for quality and size. Eggs sold at farm stands and Farmers Markets do not require Inspection or grading but both agencies will react to any complaints from consumers.
This does not mean you need to be worried about un-graded eggs. If the farmer is going to all that trouble to bring fresh eggs to small markets then you can be reasonably sure his eggs are as safe as the ones found in grocery stores and a lot fresher.
How many times can you reheat chicken?
Meat can be reheated several times but it is recommended to be reheated once. However, each time it is reheated bacteria will grow, and should be reheated at 165 degrees or higher to kill most of the bacteria.

The breeds and varieties of domestic chickens known today are believed to have descended mainly from the Red Jungle Fowl (Gallus bankiva, or Gallus gallus) Todays chickens are Gallus Domesticus.
Breed means a group which possess a given set of physical features, such as body shape, skin color, carriage, and number of toes. Variety is a category of breed and is based on feather color, comb, or presence of a beard and muff. A strain is a group or breeding population within a variety or cross that has been bred and developed by a person or organization to possess certain desirable characteristics.

Are chicken legs white or dark meat?
Chicken wings, like the breast, are white meat. The difference between white meat and dark meat is attributed to the amount of myoglobin in the muscles. Myoglobin is stored in muscles that get exercise, because they need more oxygen. The more exercise a muscle gets, the higher the concentration of myoglobin. Since a modern domesticated chicken is basically flightless, the breast and wings get very little if any activity, so the muscles develop very little myoglobin. Where this really becomes evident is in flying fowl like ducks; the meat is more of a reddish color all over, which is why ducks are basically all dark meat.
Nevertheless, when cooking, wings should be treated like dark meat, not white meat, which can get dry if cooked too long. Wings take well to long cooking times and high heat, just like thighs. Just be careful when grilling or barbecuing, since wings are also one of the fattiest parts of the chicken and tend to create flare-ups on the grill.
Other opinions:
- In fast food restaurants, it is not unusual to order dark meat and get wings. In much of food service, wings are considered dark meat.
- Actually wings should not be treated as dark meat but as white meat they can dry out very easily. The reason they may take longer are the multiple bones in their structure. They should be cooked for a long time at a very low temperature such as 225-250F like your proper smoking temperature, or baked or deep fried at high heat very quickly to seal the outside thus preserving the juices on the inside. This method creates an extremely crisp crust where the slow smoked method creates a wing that is quite a bit more succulent. In addition the white meat of a chicken contains alot less natural internal fat compared to the thigh meat. The myoglobin is responsible for the color difference but it is the fat content that makes the thigh and leg meat retain its moisture for a longer period of time before drying out.
