A 15lbs turkey is generally enough to feed about 10-12 people.

It should take about 75 hours (3 days) to fully defrost in the refridgerator. You should defrost about 5 hours for every pound.

The oven should be preheated to 400 degrees F.

Remember to cook the turkey BREAST DOWN, as this will make sure the breast skin won't get so brown and all the juices will fall down to cook into the breast!

If you want the breast to get a bit browned then turn the bird over at the end of your cooking time and put it in a 500°F oven or under the broiler for 4-5 minutes. You MAY over-cook the turkey this way, so be careful!

Cook your turkeys 15 minutes for every pound. So, about 3 hours and 45 minutes for each 15lb turkey!!

400 F for the first 1/2 hour. Then reduce the heat to 350 F for the next 2 hours. Then reduce the heat further to 225 F for the next hour to hour and a half.

You should use a thermomerter to check the turkey about 1 hour before it's finished cooking. You want it to be 175°F for the dark meat (thighs and legs) and 165°F for the white meat (breast). The juices should be clear and not pink!

Hoped this helped! Making a turkey is a rather tricky process. Hehe!

It all just depends but if the rapper thing on the turkey doesnt say, which it should, then put it for 2 to 2 and a half hours.

Until it is done. Or, if you are my ex wife, about 3 days.

How long to cook a 40lb turkey that has been cut in half?

Fifteen to twenty minutes per pound. There will be some time reduction because it has been cut in half, so keep an eye on it. They turkey should be about one hundred sixty degrees Fahrenheit in the deepest part of the leg and the deepest part of the the thigh. If you are cooking each half of the turkey separately, apply the same fifteen to twenty minute per pound formula to half the the weight of the turkey per half.
