How long to cook a 3kg turkey butterfly?

I can't give you an exact cooking time for a 3kg turkey butterfly. Here's why:

* Oven temperature matters: Different ovens have different temperatures.

* Turkey thickness varies: Even with the same weight, a butterfly's thickness can change, impacting cooking time.

* Stuffing: A stuffed turkey takes longer to cook than an unstuffed one.

* Personal preference: Some people like their turkey well-done, others prefer it slightly pink.

Here's how to find the right cooking time:

1. Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure your turkey is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

2. Consult a recipe: Find a recipe for a turkey butterfly that specifies the oven temperature and cooking time.

3. Start checking early: Once your turkey is in the oven, check its temperature after about 1 hour. It's better to err on the side of caution and check frequently.

General guidelines:

* Unstuffed turkey: Allow about 15-20 minutes per pound at 325°F (160°C).

* Stuffed turkey: Allow about 20-25 minutes per pound at 325°F (160°C).

Remember, these are just estimates. Use a meat thermometer to determine when your turkey is cooked!
