Yes, consuming undercooked or improperly handled turkey can potentially lead to salmonella infection. Salmonella bacteria can be present in the intestines of animals, including turkeys, and can contaminate their meat. If the meat is not cooked to the appropriate temperature or if cross-contamination occurs during food preparation, the bacteria can survive and cause illness when consumed. Therefore, it’s important to ensure that turkey and other poultry products are cooked thoroughly to kill any harmful bacteria and to follow proper food safety practices to prevent foodborne illnesses.
