Answer 1

Open Pan Method" NTF Roasting Guidelines for a Fresh or Thawed Turkey
Roast in a 325 degrees F Conventional Oven on the Lowest Oven Rack
Weight Unstuffed Turkey Stuffed Turkey
8 to 12 pounds 2 3/4 to 3 hours 3 to 3 1/2 hours
12 to 14 pounds 3 to 3 3/4 hours 3 1/2 to 4 hours
14 to 18 pounds 3 3/4 to 4 1/4 hours 4 to 4 1/4 hours
18 to 20 pounds 4 1/4 to 4 1/2 hours 4 1/4 to 4 3/4 hours
20 to 24 pounds 4 1/2 to 5 hours 4 3/4 to 5 1/4 hours
24 to 30 pounds 5 to 5 1/4 hours 5 1/4 to 6 1/4 hours

Cooking time varies depending on if bird was completely thawed, stuffed, and characterisitcs of the oven (ovens do cook at different temperatures even if you hafve the knob on 325). Start checking the bird temp frequently within a half hour of the recommended cook time.

When measuring the temperature of the whole bird, follow these procedures:
Insert thermometer in the deepest part of breast or thigh. The thermometer should reach 170ºF in the breast or 180ºF in the thigh.
When inserting the thermometer in the breast, insert from the side. The thermometer is easier to read and more accurate than when inserted from the top.
Be sure to insert a thermometer into each bird.
To measure the temperature of turkey parts and products, follow the same procedure of inserting the thermometer in the deepest part of the piece.

Answer 2

* 350 degrees is temp I've always used & always covered.
* If not lid, foil over bird & pan to keep moisture in.
* Stuffed bird, add 1/2 hour to 1 hour more than recommended turkey cooking. Your case be about an extra 1/2-3/4 hour.

* 400 is a bit high for total cooking time:
* However, if I had to do a fast thaw overnight in sink & with hot water, then I cook at 400 degrees for the first hour (kill germs), then reduce to 350.
* If got done before rest of meal ready, keep completely covered in oven at 200 degrees. Or with me, I cut it up as usual & put white/dark in separate pans covered with some turkey juice in each covered pan at 200 until meal ready.
* Many people use the slow cook at 325 degrees.

Answer 3

325 for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hrs. Cover loosely with foil. Leave an air space between the turkey and the foil. Baste occasionally. Uncover the last 45 minutes.

Answer 4

325 to 350

Answer 5

as long as you have it covered yes~~~ if no cover then 350 would be better because it may dry out your bird. Enjoy your turkey day : )

Answer 6

I always cook my turkey at 300 degrees. The slower you cook it the more moist it will be.

Answer 7

375*F to 400*F
