Roasting Method: The open pan roasting method will consistently create a juicy, tender, golden brown, picture-perfect turkey.
Place thawed or fresh turkey, breast up, on a flat rack in a shallow pan, 2 to 2½ inches deep.
Insert oven-safe meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. Brush or rub skin with oil to prevent drying of the skin and to enhance the golden color.
Place in a preheated 325 °F oven.
When the skin is a light golden color and the turkey is about two-thirds done, shield the breast loosely with a tent of lightweight foil to prevent overcooking of the breast.
Use the roasting schedule in Table 2 as a guideline; start checking for doneness a half-hour before recommended end times.
Turkey is safe when cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165 °F as measured with a food thermometer. Check the internal temperature in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast. For reasons of personal preference, consumers may choose to cook turkey to higher temperatures
Let turkey stand for 15 to 20 minutes before carving to allow juices to set.
Table 2. Approximate Roasting Times for Turkey
Size of Turkey Unstuffed Timing Stuffed Timing
8-12 lbs.
2¾ - 3 Hours
3 - 3½ Hours
12-14 lbs.
3 - 3¾ Hours
3½ - 4 Hours
14-18 lbs.
3¾ - 4¼ Hours
4 - 4¼ Hours
18-20 lbs.
4¼ - 4½ Hours
4¼ - 4¾ Hours
20-24 lbs. 4½ - 5 Hours 4¾ - 5¼ Hours
(325 °F oven temperature)
Always use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of both turkey and stuffing.
hope this helps. good luck.

Well when I cooke my turkeys for the holidays I cook a 12 - 15 lb bird. it takes about 4 to 5 hours to get it how I like it , with no pink meat but still moist and tender. On about 450 drgrees
So I would be safe , to say about 1 hour to insure it's all done,
As well as how are you cooking it is it stuffed or unstuffed, as they cook differently. you may want to check on line in the site or type in google.com to know for sure.

Not sure you have a turkey there. 3 lbs is pretty miniscule. Is it turkey breast? Chicken maybe? You should double check. A 3 pound whole fowl should roast at 325 degrees for about 2 hours.

You have a 3 pound turkey?? Are you sure it's turkey and not tofu? I don't think a 3 pound turkey is possible. If it's a turkey breast, 350 in the oven for 45 min would do it.
