    What part of the turkey is the best choice for testing the internal temperature?

    • The cavity.

    • The thickest part of the breast.

    • Anywhere on the turkey.

    • The fatty part of the thigh.

    Correct Answer
    A. The thickest part of the breast.
    Explanation
    The thickest part of the breast is the best choice for testing the internal temperature because it is the slowest part of the turkey to cook and therefore the most important to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for safe consumption. The breast is also the largest part of the turkey, so testing the temperature in this area gives a good indication of the overall doneness of the bird.
