how long does it take to bake a 20lb turkey at 350 degrees???

Answer 1

We had a 20 lb turkey we cooked for 5 hrs at 350. You can also call 1-800-butterball for any turkey question.

Answer 2

America's Test Kitchen recommends the following method: For an 18-20 lb turkey, use a Butterball (no need to brine it). Rinse, then dry the turkey well. Brush the turkey all over with melted butter. Place on a V-rack in a roasting pan (if using the disposable kind, put a cookie sheet under the pan). Cook the unstuffed turkey for 1 hour at 425 degrees. Remove the turkey from the oven, turn the oven down to 325 degrees, baste it with the juices, turn the pan around and return to the oven for 2 hours. Using a meat thermometer, test the thickest part of the thigh. Turkey is done when temperature reaches 170. Remove from oven, let turkey rest for 30-45 minutes then carve. So, that would be 3 hours of cooking time, plus the 30-45 minutes of resting time. When cooking the stuffing, outside of the turkey, I will moisten it from time to time while it bakes with turkey juices.
