What can be done to reduce the chances of the salmonella contaminating food?
you should always refrigerate your foods properly, use proper hygiene when cooking and preparing food. And cook the food properly in a hot pan/stove/oven as this kills any bacteria in the meat reducing you risk of salmonella food poisoning.
What antibiotic is given for salmonella?
They can treat salmonella, but you generally don't take any for food poisoning, as it doesn't help clinically, and can even make it last longer, as you take longer to excrete the bug.
If you're really sick, or have it in your blood, or young, though, it is given for safety

What is the incubation period of salmonella?

If turkey has salmonella how long must you cook to kill it?
Most meats do have small traces of Salmonella and other bacteria or microbes present, which is normal. To kill these, it is not so much a matter of how long to cook the turkey, but how hot the meat must get. The food-safe internal temperature of any size whole turkey, is 1700F / 770C (without stuffing), and 1800F / 820C (with stuffing). Some health authorities also now recommend cooking the stuffing separately, for safety reasons, to a temperature of 1650F / 740C.
If you are concerned that the bacteria load of your meat is so high that cooking it will not kill the bacteria, do not use it. When in doubt, throw it out.
What is the best growth environment for salmonella?
Salmonella thrives in warm, moist environments, typically at temperatures between 35°C and 37°C (95°F to 98.6°F), which is similar to the human body temperature. It grows well in nutrient-rich foods, particularly proteins like meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products. Additionally, it can proliferate in improperly stored foods that are left in the "danger zone" of temperatures between 4°C and 60°C (39°F and 140°F). Maintaining proper food hygiene and storage practices is essential to prevent salmonella growth.
