How long to roast a 16 pound stuffed turkey?

Here's a more precise breakdown:

* Unstuffed: A 16-pound turkey will take about 3 hours to roast.

* Stuffed: A 16-pound turkey will take about 4 hours to roast.

Important Considerations:

* Turkey Size: Larger turkeys will take longer to cook.

* Stuffing: Stuffing needs to reach a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), so it's best to err on the side of longer cooking time if you're stuffing your turkey.

* Oven Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

* Rest Time: Allow the turkey to rest for 15-20 minutes after cooking before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Pro Tip: For a crispy skin, you can roast the turkey breast-side down for the first hour, then flip it over for the remaining cooking time.

Remember: Always follow the specific instructions provided in your recipe or on the turkey packaging for the most accurate cooking time.
