Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and use these cooking times to prepare roast turkey that's moist, tender and delicious:

10 to 12 lb Un-stuffed Turkey 3 - 3 ¼ hrs

10 to 12 lb Stuffed Turkey 3 ½ - 3 ¾ hrs

Turkey is fully cooked and safe to eat when the meat thermometer reads 77°C or 170°F for an un-stuffed turkey and 82°C or 180°F for a stuffed turkey.

Cook a turkey uncovered at 325 degrees F. Meat should reach 175 on meat thermometer. Low cooking temp insures the meat stays moist and juicy.
