Help! Did I ruin my turkey breast?

[Wendi]

Okay, so my allergies are really bad today. I baked the cake, then I put the turkey breast in the oven. An hour later, I just realized I didn't smell the turkey breast cooking yet. Hmm. Yes, you guessed it. I must've turned the oven off when I took the cake out. So the turkey's been just sitting there for an hour!

I turned the oven on. Is it going to be safe to eat??

FWIW, I'd still eat it. An hour isn't that long.

I'd cook it thoroughly and not think another thing about it. :)

Another vote for it's fine. :-)

It was delicious! We ate sooo late, though. I took a long nap after church, because my allergies were really bad. Making the cake (carrot cake from Ree's blog - mm) took a little longer than I thought it would.

When the timer was going off for the cake, dh came into the kitchen and turned it off. I took out the cake, and a few minutes later, I put in the turkey breast. I now realize that dh had turned off the OVEN, not the TIMER.

An hour later, I realized I didn't smell the turkey cooking, and, well, you know the rest. When we finally ate, though, everything was delicious!

Thanks again.
