How long do you keep turkeys in the oven?
I can't give you an exact time for roasting a turkey because it depends on several factors:
* Size of the turkey: A smaller turkey will cook faster than a larger one.
* Oven temperature: Higher temperatures will shorten the cooking time, but can also dry out the turkey.
* Stuffing: A stuffed turkey will take longer to cook than an unstuffed one.
* Whether the turkey is frozen or fresh: A frozen turkey will need additional thawing time.
Here's a general guideline:
* Unstuffed turkey: Allow about 13-15 minutes per pound at 325°F (165°C).
* Stuffed turkey: Allow about 15-18 minutes per pound at 325°F (165°C).
Important tips:
* Use a meat thermometer: The turkey is cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
* Let the turkey rest: After cooking, let the turkey rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
I recommend checking out a reliable recipe for more specific cooking times and instructions.
Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution and cook the turkey a little longer than to undercook it.
