How long do you cook a turkey per pound?

It's not about cooking time per pound, but rather cooking time per total weight. Here's a general guideline for cooking a whole turkey:

* Unstuffed turkey: 13 minutes per pound at 325°F (160°C).

* Stuffed turkey: 15 minutes per pound at 325°F (160°C).

Important:

* Always use a meat thermometer: The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

* Let the turkey rest: After cooking, let the turkey rest for at least 20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute.

* Consider the size of the turkey: A large turkey will take longer to cook than a small one.

Remember: These are just general guidelines. For best results, consult your recipe or the instructions on your turkey's packaging.
