Dear Doctors Column, November 23, 2009

Question:

This Thanksgiving I'm taking a turkey to my parents, who live about 2 hours away. Are there any special precautions I should take to prevent food poisoning? Would it be safer to cook the turkey partially at my home and finish cooking it at my parent's house? What if I want to slow cook the turkey the night before we leave so it's ready to go the next morning?
