What temperature to cook a 29 pound turkey?

The temperature to cook a 29-pound turkey is 325°F (163°C). This is the recommended temperature for roasting a turkey of any size.

Here's why:

* Even Cooking: This temperature allows for even cooking throughout the bird, ensuring that the breast doesn't dry out before the legs are cooked through.

* Golden Brown Skin: 325°F helps achieve that beautiful golden brown skin that's a hallmark of a delicious roasted turkey.

* Safety: This temperature is high enough to kill any harmful bacteria but low enough to avoid burning the turkey.

Important Note:

The cooking time for a 29-pound turkey will vary depending on the specific oven you're using. It's always best to use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

Here's a general guideline for roasting time:

* Unstuffed turkey: Allow about 13-15 minutes per pound.

* Stuffed turkey: Allow about 15-18 minutes per pound.

Remember to always preheat your oven before placing the turkey inside and let it rest for 15-20 minutes after cooking before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
