Frequently asked questions
How long do I cook a turkey per pound?▾
At 325 °F (163 °C) an unstuffed turkey needs roughly 13 to 15 minutes per pound; a 14 lb bird takes about 3 to 3¾ hours. The times here follow the USDA roasting chart.
How do I know when the turkey is done?▾
Use a food thermometer: the thickest part of the thigh, the wing and the breast must reach 165 °F (74 °C). A stuffed bird is only done when the centre of the stuffing reaches 165 °F too.
How long does a frozen turkey take to thaw?▾
In the refrigerator allow 24 hours for every 4 to 5 pounds. In cold water allow about 30 minutes per pound and change the water every 30 minutes.
