Turkey roasting times & tips

How long per pound?

At 325°F, figure about 15 minutes per pound unstuffed and a bit more for larger birds. A stuffed turkey needs roughly 30–45 minutes longer. This tool uses the USDA time ranges so you don’t have to guess.

When do I put it in?

Work backward from dinner: roast time + rest time before your serve time. That’s the “put it in the oven at” time above — set an alarm for it.

How do I know it’s done?

Only the thermometer knows for sure. Insert into the thickest part of the thigh (avoid the bone) — 165°F means done. Let it rest 20–30 minutes so the juices settle.
