from Laura Davis – long standing customer
I cook my turkey 8 minutes per pound and then check it with a meat thermometer 30 minutes prior to the scheduled time it is supposed to be done.
So, if it is a 15lb bird, total time is 2 hours at 325°F.
I would check the thickest part of the thigh at 90 minutes to see what the temp is; it should be 165°F.
