How to Cook a Turkey
Roasting
Five easy steps to roasting a perfect turkey:
Thaw the turkey. Remove neck and giblets from the neck and body cavities.
Heat oven to 325°F.
Rinse the turkey inside and out with cold water.
Place turkey breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. If cooking stuffing inside the turkey, fill the body cavity with stuffing just before roasting. Stuffing should read 165° F before serving.
Roast the turkey, uncovered, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, not touching bone, registers 180°F.
12-14 lbs:
stuffed: 3 1/2 - 4 hours
unstuffed: 3-3 1/2 hours
I always follow the directions on the back of the wrapping of the butterball turkey.
I also tent it with foil until the last 45 mintues and butter the skin or olive oil it, with tent removed and it will brown up beautifully, I also put salt and pepper on it.
good luck
I cant tell you how long it will take, that depends on alot of factors.....Cook it until an internal temp of 180.
Approx times:
Stuffed: 4-4 1/2 hours
Unstuffed: 1/2 hour less than stuffed
Dont use the little whire temperature thing, if you do you will have the dryest turkey ever.
Read the wrapper.
