Can you cook a turkey and ham in the oven at same time?

Yes, you can cook a turkey and ham in the oven at the same time. Here are some tips for doing so:

1. Choose a large enough oven. A 16-pound turkey and an 8-pound ham will both fit in a standard 18-inch oven. If you have a smaller oven, you may need to cook the turkey and ham in stages.

2. Prepare the turkey and ham according to your preferred recipes. For example, you can roast the turkey with herbs, spices, and vegetables, and glaze the ham with honey, brown sugar, and spices.

3. Place the turkey and ham in the oven on separate racks. This will allow them to cook evenly and prevent the flavors from mixing too much.

4. Cook the turkey and ham for the recommended amount of time. The turkey will take about 13-15 minutes per pound, and the ham will take about 12-14 minutes per pound.

5. Check the internal temperature of the turkey and ham to make sure they are done cooking. The turkey should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, and the ham should reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

6. Let the turkey and ham rest for 15-20 minutes before carving and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.
