If you wanted to cook a 12lb turkey how long would it take?

I can't tell you exactly how long it will take to cook a 12lb turkey. Here's why:

* Oven Temperature: Cooking time depends on the oven temperature you choose.

* Turkey Size and Shape: Even turkeys of the same weight can have different shapes, which affects cooking time.

* Stuffing: If you stuff the turkey, it will take longer to cook.

* Your Oven: Ovens vary in temperature accuracy, so cooking times can be affected.

However, I can give you a general guideline:

Unstuffed Turkey at 325°F:

* 12-14 lb turkey: 3-3.5 hours

Always use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh.

For a more accurate estimate, I recommend using a turkey cooking time calculator online. These calculators will factor in the weight of your turkey and the oven temperature you plan to use.
