A » The safest internal temperature for cooked poultry, including chicken and turkey, is 165°F (74°C). This ensures that harmful bacteria such as Salmonella and Campylobacter are effectively eliminated, making the poultry safe to eat. Always use a food thermometer to check the temperature at the thickest part of the meat, avoiding bones, for accurate readings.
