But chances are, itâs not. âA lot of the brain doesn't have nerve endings,â Tietjen says. âSo most headaches are going to be caused by something else.â. Itâs not common, but bad pain in the brain can be a symptom of a stroke or blood clot.
Q: How can I tell when the turkey is done? A: There are several ways to determine if the turkey is cooked through. For safety and doneness the internal temperature, as registered on a meat thermometer, must reach a minimum of 165 degrees, though most cooks will prefer up to 180 degrees F. in the thigh. The center of the stuffing should reach 165 degrees F in the cavity, and the center of the breast is done at 165 to 170 degrees. You can also prick the leg joint with a fork, and if the juices run just slightly pink or clear, the turkey is done.
You'll need a meat thermometer to make sure you cook your turkey to the right temperature. Insert it close to, but not touching, the thigh bone. If it reads 180 degrees F in the thigh and 170 degrees F in the breast, it's done and ready to serve. (If itâs stuffed, check the center of the stuffing to make sure itâs 165 degrees F as well.)
