The rule of thumb for roasting an unstuffed turkey is to cook it for 15 minutes per pound at 325 degrees Fahrenheit. So for a 23 lb. turkey, you should expect it to cook for about 5 hours and 45 minutes. If it doesn't have a pop-up timer, start checking the temperature about and hour before your determined time is up and check it every 20 minutes until the temperature is 165 degrees F in the thickest areas of the thigh and breast.

Remember, no matter what the estimated cooking time, determine doneness based on the turkey’s internal temperature. 12- to 13-pound turkey, 1¾ hours 14- to 24-pound turkey, 2 to 3 hours 25- to 28-pound turkey 3½ to 4 hours

At 325 degrees a twenty three pound turkey should be cooked for 4 1/2 hours if it is unstuffed. A stuffed turkey should be cooked for 4 3/4 to 5 hours. To be sure always use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature is at least 165 degrees.

At 325F oven temperature, allow 30 minutes per pound. That would be about 9 hours. The key is to use a meat thermometer, insert it into the thickest part of the turkey meat, until it reaches 165F. Be sure to baste your turkey, or it will surely dry out.
