    I didn't see any giblets inside my turkey. What can I do?

    Top Answerer
    Check the packaging; if it states 'giblets may be missing,' then it's normal not to find any.

  • Question
    How should I remove the neck from my fresh turkey?
    Adele Orr
    Top Answerer
    Cut at the base of the neck, as close to the body as possible. You can then use the neck to make gravy or stock, or you can discard it.

  • Question
    Do I need to rewrap the turkey before refrigerating it after removing the neck and giblets if I'm not cooking it immediately?
    Adele Orr
    Top Answerer
    No, you don't need to rewrap it. Place the turkey on a sheet pan or tray and put it in the fridge, preferably at the bottom to prevent any drips on other food.

  • Question
    Can I run cool water inside the body cavity?
    Adele Orr
    Top Answerer
    Unless your turkey was sitting in a brine, it is not recommended to rinse it. Water alone will not clean it much, and it can actually spread bacteria around your kitchen.
