SHOWERING with your turkey could ruin Christmas, food safety experts warned last night.
 Do not bathe
Dr Bill McKay, director of poultry at the National Bathing Institute, said: "It's very tempting, particularly at this time of year, to take a turkey into the bathroom.
"A few years ago I made the mistake of trying to have a bath with a 12 pound male. I still have the scars to prove it.
"If you really want to wash a turkey then take it into the back garden, tie it to a downpipe and set the hose on it."
Dr McKay added: "If you are absolutely desperate to bathe with a large fowl I would strongly recommend a plump, English goose. They are even-tempered and scrub-up nicely.
"But if that's a bit ambitious, you can always start out with a duck and work your way up."
Dr McKay said geese react best to an all-in-one shampoo and conditioner and a cocoa butter moisturising body wash.
