We are having smoked turkey at Christmas dinenr tomorrow and I want to know if there is a chance of contracting listeria or toxoplasmosis from it. It is a whole smoked turkey, not smoked turkey deli meat, if that makes sense.
Will it be ok if I heat it up until it is steaming?

All meat should be cooked to 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, proper handling can help prevent diseases. Such as, was the turkey refrigerated/frozen properly before cooking? If the turkey was cooked to the proper temperature and served fresh (not after sitting out all day) then you have a 99.9999999999% chance of NOT getting sick. However, there is that extremely RARE chance that something could happen but I doubt it'd be from the turkey. You should be OK and enjoy your dinner!
Merry Christmas!!

Hon, do no longer difficulty approximately each and all the nonsense. regardless of if pregnant or no longer, you may get listeria which could make you very ill. it somewhat is that a million in 1000 threat yet yet they attempt to make women human beings scared whilst pregnant. Quiznos is advantageous to consume. I even have eaten subway distinctive circumstances (no longer toasted) because I even have been pregnant and the infant is basically advantageous. in case you desire to consume it, then flow forward. 40w 3-D pregnant with a advantageous woman offspring and if she would not come of course would be triggered on Monday the twenty fourth.

It should be fine to eat as long as it is up to a safe temperature. But limit your exposure to BBQ, smoked meats,etc...Lots of toxins and carcinogens in smoke and char.

Not quite, its just not good when it reaches over a specific temperature. Dont eat to much of it or else your stomach will get some pain every once in a while.

As long as it reached 165 degrees it will be fine, enjoy your Christmas. Overeat, you can get away with it! Happy Holidays.

It should be fine. If you are really worried heat it up really well to make sure you kill any extra bacteria.
