I don't have the slightest problem roasting a turkey that comes out
tasty and moist. All I do to the bird is wash it, put salt, pepper and
paprika on the skin, and pop it into the oven.

The United States Department of Agriculture advises against the
practice of rinsing poultry or meat before cooking it. It runs the
risk of spreading bacteria on your sink, countertop and utensils where
it can be further spread.

Cooking at the correct temperatures kills any harmful bacteria.
