Using a Meat Thermometer
Prior to cooking, insert stem of oven-proof thermometer (stem will need to be at least 4 1/2″ (11 cm) long) into the thickest part of the inner thigh meat, not touching thigh bone. OR near end of cooking, remove from heat and insert instant-read thermometer stem or fork thermometer tines into inner thigh meat (as above). If stuffed, check stuffing temperature by inserting thermometer stem into centre of stuffing. Always wash the tongs, plate and thermometer stem used in checking partially cooked meats/poultry before using again. Is it better to cook a stuffed turkey at 325 or 350?If you're determined to stuff the turkey, you'll want to leave it in the oven at 325°F for 20-25 minutes per pound. We'll also recommend covering the turkey (especially the wings and drumsticks) with a loose tent of aluminum foil about halfway through cooking, to keep them from drying out or burning.
How long does it take to cook a 16 pound turkey?The rule of thumb for cooking a turkey is 13 minutes per pound. So our 16-pound turkey was estimated to cook in about 3 1/2 hours.
How long does it take to cook a 16 pound stuffed turkey at 350 degrees?A stuffed turkey takes longer to cook than an unstuffed turkey. Roast a stuffed turkey for 15 minutes per pound at 350 degrees F. It is important to check the temperature of the stuffing; it should be 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) when you insert the thermometer into the center of the stuffing.
How long do you cook a 17 pound stuffed turkey at 325?The stuffing will increase the baking time by about 15 minutes. So, if you have a 17-20 pound stuffed turkey, it will now take about 255-285 minutes (4 1/4 to 4 3/4 hours) to bake at 325.
