16.5 pound turkey times 3.5 minutes per equals?

To calculate the total cooking time for a 16.5-pound turkey using 3.5 minutes per pound, multiply the weight of the turkey by the recommended cooking time per pound.

Cooking Time = Weight of the Turkey × Cooking Time per Pound

Cooking Time = 16.5 lb × 3.5 min/lb

Cooking Time = 57.75 minutes or approximately 1 hour

So, it would take approximately 1 hour (58 minutes) to cook a 16.5-pound turkey at a rate of 3.5 minutes per pound.
