So, should you bring turkey to room temp? Nah. Save yourself the worry. The science says it’s risky, the pros don’t even agree, and your time is better spent on stuffing or watching holiday movies.
But if you’ve got an obsessive streak and you’ve done it before without consequences? You do you. Just set a timer, keep it under two hours, and maybe don’t tell your health-conscious aunt.
Now go forth, roast that cold-ish bird, and serve it with confidence. And if anyone asks, just say, “I’m following the science, and the science says cheers.” 🦃
