1. Make sure the turkey is completely defrosted and at room temperature.
2. For an unstuffed bird, the cooking time will be about 10 minutes per
lb. at 350°F. Using an
instant read
thermometer, the breast must register 160°F at the deepest part of
thigh). You can always throw
the legs
back in the oven! They always take longer.
3. One twenty-pound turkey will feed ten people, (leftovers included).
If you have a large enough
oven, two
smaller turkeys can be easier to handle.
4. Set aside at least one half hour for the bird to rest after cooking.
