How long do you cook a 15 lb Riverside Turkey?

I can't give you an exact cooking time for a 15 lb Riverside Turkey because I need more information! Here's why:

* Cooking method: The time will vary dramatically depending on whether you're roasting, frying, grilling, or using another method.

* Oven temperature: A higher temperature will cook the turkey faster, while a lower temperature will take longer.

* Stuffing or no stuffing: A stuffed turkey will take longer to cook than an unstuffed one.

* Turkey size and shape: A 15 lb turkey's shape and thickness can affect how long it takes to cook.

Here's how to figure out the best cooking time:

1. Consult a reliable recipe: Look for a recipe specifically designed for roasting a turkey of that size, using your preferred cooking method.

2. Use a meat thermometer: The most reliable way to ensure your turkey is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. It should register 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh.

General Tips:

* Calculate cooking time based on weight: A good general rule of thumb is to allow about 13-15 minutes per pound of turkey for roasting. This is just an estimate, though, so always check the internal temperature to ensure it's cooked through.

* Always preheat your oven: Preheating ensures even cooking.

* Let the turkey rest: Allow the cooked turkey to rest for at least 20-30 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
