How long does it take to bake a 18.7 lb turkey not stufffed at 375 degrees?

Answer 1

It is a little better to cook at 350 degrees so your skin and dark meat wont get so crisp. The conversion for cooking a turkey is usually 350 for 3 and a half hours for a 12 pound bird, plus fifteen minutes per pound. That means yours should take about, Four hours and forty five minutes. Check it with a meat thermometer if you have one it will be done when it is at 165 at the thickest part of the breast and the thickest part of the drumstick. Another way to tell if you don't have a therm is to pierce the breast with a long fork. If the juice that runs out is clear, and the leg joints move freely when you tug on them your bird should be done.... Hope this helps

It takes twenty minutes a pound to cook turkey. 17 times 20 is 340 minutes. So it would be over five hours to bake your turkey.
