How long and what temp do I cook a 8 lb bone in turkey breadt?
It sounds like you're asking about cooking an 8 lb bone-in turkey breast. Here's a guide on how to cook it:
Cooking Time:
* Roasting: For an 8 lb bone-in turkey breast, you can expect a roasting time of approximately 2-2.5 hours at 325°F (160°C).
* Other methods: You can also cook it using other methods like grilling, smoking, or in a slow cooker, but roasting is the most common.
Temperature:
* Internal Temperature: The turkey breast is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part. You'll want to use a meat thermometer to check this.
Important Tips:
* Brine: Brining your turkey breast beforehand will help keep it juicy and flavorful.
* Rest: Allow the turkey breast to rest for 10-15 minutes after cooking before carving. This helps the juices redistribute.
* Size Matters: Cooking times can vary slightly based on the actual size and thickness of your turkey breast.
* Oven Variations: Every oven is slightly different, so monitor the turkey closely and adjust cooking time as needed.
Here's a simple roasting recipe:
1. Preheat: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Prepare: Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. You can rub it with olive oil, salt, and pepper for extra flavor.
3. Roast: Place the turkey breast in a roasting pan and roast for approximately 2-2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
4. Rest: Let the turkey breast rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
Enjoy!
