A 30 pound stuffed turkey will take about 6 1/4 hours to cook at 325 degrees. You'll need to add about 15 - 20 minutes per pound so I would say a 34 pound turkey will take about another hour. If you use a dark covered roasting pan (that's how I do it - I don't know if you can get one big enough for that bird) it might be faster. Depends also on your oven - I would check the turkey often. That is a huge turkey!!!
I hope this helps.

No idea where you could get such a turkey, or if you could get one, how you would fit it in your oven, but assuming you had a 34 pound turkey in your oven, then cook it for at least 9 hours.
Be sure to use a thermometer though, and check to make sure it's thoroughly done, because cooking times are just a guideline, and really apply to the more common size of turkeys. You need to make sure the entire turkey is cooked to 185 degrees all the way through. And I wouldn't stuff this turkey.

About 8 1/2 hours. You should cook a turkey one hour for every 4 pounds

cooking time for turkey is 15 minutes per pound. Multiply 15 by 34

If someone sold you a 34 pound turkey I would wonder about them as well as you. Sure it isn't an ostrich or something similar? I have NEVER in my life heard about a 34 pound turkey.

the rule of thumb is 1 hr for evey 4 lbs which is 8.5 hrs for 34 lbs but to be on the safe side i alwas cook a turkey in the oven 15 min longer for ea. hour so it would make it 10.5 hrs. remember to baste every 30 min to an hour to keep from drying.

At 350F , if you just put and unseasoned rinse off, patted dry turkey it should take about 8.3 hours. I suggest marinating it, also make sure it is completely de-frosted, then let it sit and come to room temperature while the oven is coming up to temp. You can and should season the bird, tent the beast with aluminum foil, then about and 1 hr. 15 min before time, cover it, baste it with the juice at the bottom, and let it get a dark golden tan.

About one hour for every 4 pounds so 8.5 hours, minimum
