How many minutes per pound is it to cook a stuffed 31 turkey in convection oven?
I can't give you a specific time per pound for cooking a stuffed 31-pound turkey in a convection oven. Here's why:
* Stuffing Changes Things: A stuffed turkey cooks differently than an unstuffed one. The stuffing creates a barrier that prevents the heat from reaching the center of the bird as quickly.
* Convection Oven Variation: Convection ovens vary in their intensity. Some cook more quickly than others.
* Turkey Size and Shape: A 31-pound turkey may have different proportions, which affects cooking time.
* Doneness Temperature: The turkey needs to reach a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to be cooked thoroughly.
Instead of a time per pound, I recommend using a meat thermometer and checking the internal temperature of the turkey to ensure it's cooked properly.
Here are some general guidelines for cooking a stuffed turkey in a convection oven:
* Preheat oven: 325°F (165°C)
* Cooking time: Expect a cooking time of about 13-15 minutes per pound.
* Check for doneness: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh (avoiding bone). The turkey is done when it reaches 165°F (74°C).
* Rest: Let the turkey rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
Remember: It's always better to err on the side of caution and cook the turkey a bit longer than to undercook it.
For the most accurate cooking time, I recommend consulting a specific recipe for stuffed turkey in a convection oven. You can find many online or in cookbooks.
