I made a great turkey for my Thanksgiving dinner, but my family’s response was “That’s it?” This blog is about to show you how to cook a delicious turkey. I’m not going to give you a cook time, but I will tell you how to make a great Thanksgiving meal.
What is Your Process for cooking a turkey?
Turkeys are big birds, and can weigh upwards of 22 pounds. Cooking a turkey can take a lot of time, especially if you haven’t done it before. You’ll need to pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, remove the turkey from the roasting pan, and place it in a resting rack inside a roasting pan or pan. Make sure the bird has at least two feet of space on each side. Then, lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees. This will help the turkey cook more evenly. Finally, place the turkey in the oven for approximately two and a half hours, or until an internal temperature of 165 degrees is reached. This will ensure that the turkey is cooked completely.

How long to cook a turkey?
How long to cook a turkey? I know most of you prefer to cook a turkey at the last minute before you eat Thanksgiving dinner. But the truth is that most turkeys are going to be cooked a lot longer than you think. There are different types of turkeys, and the cooking time depends on what type it is. For example, a breast turkey will cook faster than a whole turkey. In addition, larger turkeys will take longer to cook than smaller turkeys. So, how long to cook a turkey? The best way to check the temperature of the turkey is to put it into a roasting pan and insert an instant read thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. Then, start checking the temperature at 25 minute intervals. When the thermometer reads 165 degrees F, remove the turkey from the oven. The rest of the turkey should still be at 165 degrees F, so if you would like to continue cooking, put the turkey back into the oven for another 25 minutes.
How long does a 22 lb turkey take to cook?
I know I’m not going to be able to eat a whole turkey at this size, but I’m hoping to make it as tasty as possible. If I put it in the oven, how long should it be cooked for?
How to choose a turkey
According to National Turkey Producers Council, the average oven-roasted turkey contains around 8-10 lbs. When choosing the right size turkey, make sure to use an oven that can accommodate a 22 lb bird. Choose a size that will allow you to fit a full-size pie into your oven. This includes turkeys that have a length of 15-18 in and a diameter of 14-16 in. This is one of the simplest ways to cook a turkey, but the cooking time will vary depending on how much the bird is being roasted. Depending on the internal temperature of the turkey, roasting times may range from about 2.5 to about 8 hours. Start checking the internal temperature after an hour and keep an eye on the oven temperature. Make sure to remove any turkey fat as it will burn if exposed to too high of a temperature.
