Our people like to send apples on Christmas Eve to wish relatives and friends peace and security, Japan eats fried chicken, Germany eats roast goose, Italy eats seven fish feast, as for britain and the United States, the most eaten is turkey. Turkey is high in protein and fat, not high in energy, or really nutritious, what other nutritional advantages does it have? What details to pay attention to during the cooking process, let's take a look. There are many details about cooking it, and the same applies to making other meats, so don't miss it, please read on.
First, turkey and chicken who is more nutritious?
Turkey as a bird, in theory, nutrition should be similar to chicken, let's take a look at the data.
Through the comparison, it can be seen that the protein content of chicken legs and turkey legs is comparable, chicken and turkey meat belong to white meat, are good sources of high-quality protein, chicken legs and chicken breast protein content are a little higher than turkey, of which the highest protein content of chicken breast meat, in fact, it is almost too much, in short, rely on them protein supplement is OK.
As for fat, whether it is leg meat or breast meat, turkey is lower than chicken, and the fat content of turkey's chicken breast meat is only 0.2%, which is too friendly for friends to control.
Then there are trace elements
Iron: Female friends are more likely to lack iron, the highest content in turkey legs, every 100 grams of iron content can meet 26% of the daily iron needs of white-collar women.
Zinc: The zinc content of turkey leg meat is also significantly higher than that of chicken thigh meat, which is 35.6 times that of chicken thigh meat, and eating 81 grams can meet the daily zinc needs of ordinary women.
Selenium: Chicken breast and turkey breast have the same selenium content, but turkey leg meat has 32% higher selenium content than chicken thigh meat. But the Chinese people generally do not eat turkey, less demand supply, inevitably the scarce as expensive, I searched for the e-commerce platform turkey legs, generally also thirty or forty yuan a pound, the price is more than 3 times the pipa legs, so the turkey legs are more suitable for Christmas to eat, as the usual high-quality protein, iron, zinc, selenium food source, the cost performance is relatively low.
Raw poultry is easy to contain salmonella, Campylobacter, Clostridium aerogenes and other microorganisms, so the turkey bought back from thawing to cooking should pay attention to avoid cross-contamination, the following is the US CDC to give some safety advice.
Second, pay attention to the details when thawing
We can put the refrigerator freezer to thaw, or we can thaw in cold water or microwave, the details are as follows.
(1) Thawing in the refrigerator refrigerator refrigerator with packaging in the refrigerator refrigerator can avoid the juice from contaminating other foods. It takes about 24 hours for every 3.5-4.5 kg of turkey to be completely thawed, and after thawing in the refrigerator, it can be left in the refrigerator for another 1-2 days before cooking.
(2) Cold water thawing If you want to put cold water to thaw, then first put the turkey in a leak-proof plastic bag to avoid the juice splashing on the kitchen countertop or tableware, in addition, it can also prevent the turkey from absorbing water, so that the turkey is not easy to firewood after cooking. In addition, make sure that the turkey is completely under tap water, change the water every 30 minutes, so that it can thaw faster, generally every 1 kilogram of turkey needs to thaw for about 30 minutes.
In addition, cold water needs to be cooked immediately after thawing, so as not to leave room temperature for too long and breed microorganisms, and the same is true for microwave thawing. It should be reminded that the turkey should not be placed directly on the countertop to thaw, this is because when the turkey is placed at room temperature for more than 2 hours, even if its center is still frozen and unsafe, the surface bacteria may have grown in large quantities.
Third, pay attention to the details when cooking
Wash your hands with soap or hand sanitizer before handling the turkey.
Raw turkeys should not be rinsed with running water, and the board for cutting raw turkey meat should be separated from the board for cutting vegetable salad or cooked food to avoid cross-contamination. Whether it is boiled or roasted, it must be thoroughly cooked from the inside to the outside, and if it cannot be eaten in time after cooking, it should be sealed and refrigerated within 2 hours, so as to avoid bacteria, especially Clostridium perfringens, growing in cooked meat, causing food poisoning (vomiting and abdominal pain within 6 to 24 hours).
It is best to cut large pieces of meat into small pieces so that it can be quickly cooled when refrigerated, and cooked turkeys can be refrigerated in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, and then thoroughly cooked before eating. These safety details in thawing and cooking are actually the same for us to cook other meats, whether it is celebrating Christmas, or the following New Year's Day, if you cook meat, you must remember and practice these food safety details, so as not to cross-contaminate food poisoning.
