Cooking time using an electric roaster. I know it's late but I didn't get it until yesterday (Thanksgiving) Easier than I thought which is why it was hard to remember. Cook at 325 for 15 minutes to a pound. Add an additional 1/2 hour if the bird is stuffed. Avoid opening the roaster as much as possible, baste once midway through. These are pretty much the same directions if you're using your oven. Lesson here is don't over think it and you'll be fine. Example 15 pound turkey = 3 hours and 45 minutes - unstuffed, 4 hours and 15 minutes stuffed.

Why does it take so long to cook a turkey in a stainless steel roaster how can you cut the time?

Turkey in a roaster is approximately 20 minutes a pound at 350 degrees,so a 15 pound bird will take approximately 4-5 hours.If that is to long to wait: Try deep frying, a 12-15 pound bird will take about 45 minutes.Get the proper equipment,the right kind of oil,and the right amount of oil(preferably canola or peanut oil) and be sure to do it in a safe place at the right height.There are propane friers and electric friers both are good,but be sure to read and follow the directions.
