Where to Place the Meat Thermometer? |

Poultry
Insert the meat thermometer into the inner thigh area near the breast of the chicken or turkey but not touching bone.
If stuffed, stuffing temperature must reach 165°F. Do this near and at the end of the stand time. |

The thermometer should also be placed in the thickest area of ground meat or poultry dishes like meatloaf. The
thermometer may be inserted sideways in thin items such as patties. |

Beef, Pork, Lamb, Veal, Ham - Roasts, Steaks or Chops
The thermometer should be inserted into the center of the thickest part, away from bone, fat and gristle. |
