How do you cook a 4year old turkey?

Here's why:

* Food safety: Young turkeys are more likely to carry bacteria that can make you sick.

* Flavor: Younger turkeys haven't had time to develop the rich flavor that comes with age.

* Texture: The meat of a young turkey will be much tougher and less flavorful.

If you're looking to cook a turkey, it's best to choose one that is at least 4 months old and weighs at least 10 pounds.

Here are some general tips for cooking a turkey:

1. Thaw your turkey properly. This is crucial to ensure the turkey cooks evenly and safely. Thaw your turkey in the refrigerator for about 24 hours for every 5 pounds.

2. Season generously. A good turkey brine or rub can help enhance the flavor of the bird.

3. Roast at a low temperature. Roasting your turkey at 325°F will help ensure that it cooks evenly without drying out.

4. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh.

Please note that if you are unsure about the age of your turkey, it is best to err on the side of caution and not cook it.
