Where to put a meat thermometer?

To measure the temperature of your meat joint or poultry accurately, ensure the end of the probe is in a fleshy portion of the meat so it is measuring the temperature of the meat and NOT the air around the meat. This can be most difficult with poultry such as turkey or chicken. Ensure that when the meat thermometer is inserted, it’s in a thick enough portion of the meat to be roasted.
