How Long Do I Cook A Turkey?
The cooking time of a turkey depends on its weight. As a general rule, a turkey should cook for about 15-20 minutes per pound at a temperature of 325°F. For example, a 12-pound turkey would take approximately 3-4 hours to cook. It is important to check the internal temperature of the turkey using a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached at least 165°F in the thickest part of the bird.
