Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to cook a 14 lb turkey?
At 325°F, an unstuffed 14-pound turkey takes approximately 3–3.75 hours. Always cook to an internal temperature of 165°F measured in the thickest part of the thigh, not touching the bone.
Is it safe to cook a stuffed turkey?
The USDA recommends cooking stuffing separately for food safety — the stuffing inside the bird reaches 165°F long after the turkey meat is done, leading to overcooked, dry turkey. Cook stuffing separately for both safety and better texture.
How long to rest a turkey after cooking?
Rest a turkey for 20–30 minutes after removing from the oven. Tent loosely with foil. Larger turkeys stay hot longer than you think — they won't get cold in 30 minutes.
At what temperature is turkey done?
Turkey is done when the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer. Insert the thermometer away from bone, which conducts heat and gives a false high reading.
