I hope that everyone appreciates you being up at 5 AM to start their dinner!

25 min times 14 lbs is 5 hours and 50 minutes.
that would make it not quite 11 AM if you put it in at 5 AM...
Hope this helps :-))

Use a meat thermometer and put it in the breast (thickest part). When it gives a reading of 165 degrees or a little more it will be done. You will get a higher reading in the wing area because it is not as meaty!

Not sure what temp you have it at, but after 4.5 hours it should be done for that size of bird. Just stick a thermometer in it and check.
Happy Thanksgiving!
