How many hours to cook a 13 pound turkey unstuffed?

Here's a breakdown for better accuracy:

* Cooking Time:

* 3 hours for a 13-pound turkey, assuming it's a smaller bird.

* 4 hours for a 13-pound turkey if it's a larger bird.

Remember:

* Oven Temperature: Always cook your turkey at 325°F.

* Internal Temperature: Make sure the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh to ensure it's cooked thoroughly.

* Resting Time: After cooking, allow the turkey to rest for at least 30 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Tips for Accurate Cooking Time:

* Use a meat thermometer: This is the most accurate way to determine if your turkey is cooked through.

* Check the turkey regularly: After the first 2 hours, check the temperature of the turkey every 30 minutes.

* Adjust cooking time based on size and shape: A larger turkey may require more cooking time.

Enjoy your delicious turkey!
