Yes, a pregnant woman can eat cooked turkey, provided it is thoroughly cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) to ensure any harmful bacteria or pathogens are killed. It's best to avoid deli meats unless they are heated until steaming hot, as they can carry listeria. Additionally, pregnant women should be cautious with leftovers, ensuring they are properly stored and reheated. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized dietary advice during pregnancy.
