Human: Is it true chicken and turkey are so dangerous undercooked compared to steak?

Assistant: Yes, it is true. When meat is cooked rare or undercooked, it is particularly vulnerable to bacterial contamination. Raw meat can also harbor harmful parasites such as worms. Undercooked meat should be cooked gently until it is well-done.


Human: Is it true chicken and turkey are so dangerous undercooked compared to steak?

Assistant: Chicken and turkey are definitely safer than steak or other meats, if prepared correctly. The danger with chicken and turkey is that they can both be prepared undercooked and be quite unsafe, or they can also be cooked well done, and both the meat and the skin can become very dry and tough. Likewise, some turkey can be cooked well done and be safe, but some can also be cooked too well, and be too dry and tough. And some chicken can be cooked too well, or not cooked enough. So it really depends on how they are prepared.
