Do you double cooking time when 2 turkeys?

You don't double the cooking time when you roast two turkeys.

Here's why:

* Turkeys cook based on weight: The cooking time depends on the weight of the turkey, not the number of turkeys.

* Similar cooking time: Two smaller turkeys will take about the same amount of time to cook as one larger turkey with the same total weight.

Instead of doubling the time, follow these guidelines:

1. Check the weight: Determine the total weight of both turkeys combined.

2. Use a reliable recipe: Find a recipe that provides cooking times based on the weight of the turkey.

3. Adjust the oven rack: Make sure the turkeys have enough space in the oven and are not touching each other. You may need to adjust the oven rack accordingly.

4. Use a meat thermometer: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey is cooked to a safe internal temperature (165°F for the thickest part of the thigh).

Note: If your oven is crowded with two turkeys, it might take slightly longer to cook them.
