Food Myth - Slow Roasting Turkey is Unsafe

The USDA says “(When roasting turkey), Set your oven temperature no lower than 325 °F.”

A food study (http://www.hi-tm.com/Documents/Turkey.pdf) did a study and proved that slow roasting turkey is COMPLETELY SAFE as bacteria in turkey is killed at temperatures above 130.

Tip on Slow Roasting Turkey: Roast at 275 until internal temperature of 170 thigh and 160 breast (breast side down halfway). Cool down for 1 hour tented. Roast breast side up at 500 for 10 minutes to brown the skin.
