How long to cook a 10 pound turkey at 300 degrees?

You should never cook a turkey at 300 degrees Fahrenheit. That's too low of a temperature and will result in a dry, tough, and potentially undercooked bird.

Here's a more accurate cooking time and temperature guide for a 10-pound turkey:

Cooking Time:

* 325°F (165°C): 3-4 hours

* 350°F (175°C): 2 1/2 - 3 hours

Important Tips:

* Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey is cooked through. The safe internal temperature for poultry is 165°F (74°C).

* Let the turkey rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moister bird.

* Consider using a roasting rack to elevate the turkey, allowing air to circulate evenly.

Note: Cooking times can vary depending on your oven, the turkey's size and shape, and whether you're stuffing it.
