Is it ok to cook the turkey at 450?

* Excessive browning: The high temperature will cause the turkey to brown too quickly on the outside, potentially before the inside is cooked through. This can lead to a dry and tough bird.

* Uneven cooking: The high heat can make it difficult to cook the turkey evenly, especially in the thighs and legs, which tend to take longer to cook.

* Risk of burning: There is a higher risk of burning the turkey at such a high temperature, especially if you are not carefully monitoring it.

Recommended Temperature: The safe and recommended temperature for cooking a turkey is 325 degrees Fahrenheit. This allows for even cooking and helps to prevent burning.

Tip: To ensure your turkey is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The turkey is fully cooked when the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
