Woman’s “Hack” For Marinating Turkey In Crisper Drawer Goes Viral
Ok…I’ll say it up front: No. Nope. Heck NO! I freaked out when I saw this picture of how a woman marinated her turkey breast for Thanksgiving. If you’re like me and have a bit of OCD, this may make your skin crawl.
The woman shared the “hack” on her Facebook page and it quickly went viral. She posted a photo of her turkey immersed in brine inside her vegetable drawer. Just floating in there with the marinade.
Tens of thousands of people were horrified by the picture. Many were disgusted because of the potential health risk. Keeping raw meat exposed inside a fridge just screams salmonella to me! Others thought the same.
After Googling the idea, I did find many websites that approve of the “hack.” One big difference though, they recommend that you line the drawer with a brining bag. Now THAT makes more sense to me than to have the bird just floating around in the drawer.
I don’t care if it’s a bird at Thanksgiving or at Christmas, this just freaks me out and makes me wanna grab the Clorox. Ugh!
Phil and I both have an issue with a raw turkey just sloshing around inside of a veggie drawer in the fridge. Some folks on Facebook agree with the idea though. Note to self: don’t eat at anyone else’s house ever again!
What do you think? Would you do this?
