What is the proper internal temperature for cooking a turkey?

I don't want my guests to eat undercooked turkey or worse get Salmonella.

!!Answer

The best way to tell if your turkey is ready to eat is with a meat thermometer. A perfectly done turkey will reach 185°F in the thigh, 170°F in the breast.  Check out Butterball's website for learning how to Know When Your Turkey Is Done and create a beautifully golden turkey.
