Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to cook a turkey?
At 325°F a guide is about 13 minutes per pound unstuffed and 15 minutes per pound stuffed, so a 14 lb unstuffed bird is roughly 3 hours. Ovens vary, so treat the time as an estimate and check the temperature.
What internal temperature should turkey reach?
Turkey is done at 165°F (74°C) measured in the thickest part of the thigh, away from the bone. That is the safe temperature regardless of the estimated time, so a thermometer is the reliable check. For food safety, follow your local guidance.
Should I cook a stuffed or unstuffed turkey?
A stuffed turkey takes longer, since the stuffing must also reach 165°F, and that extra time can dry the meat. Many cooks roast the bird unstuffed and bake the stuffing separately. The calculator adjusts the time for either choice.
Does this work offline and is anything sent to a server?
