SUMMARY: As Thanksgiving approaches, safety is crucial for a hazard-free celebration. Maria Agular shares key tips starting with turkey frying: always fry outdoors, away from structures, using a level surface, and never leave the fryer unattended. After cooking, store leftovers within 2 hours in shallow containers, safe in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Safe options include plain potatoes, apple slices, and turkey meat without skin or bones. Taking precautions ensures a safe and enjoyable holiday for all, including furry family members.
