How It Works

General rule: 13-15 minutes per pound for unstuffed, 15-18 minutes per pound for stuffed.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always use a meat thermometer. The turkey is done when the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the turkey rest for 20-30 minutes before carving to lock in juices.
  • Cooking stuffing inside the bird is safer if you verify the stuffing also reaches 165°F.
