How long do you roast 12lb turkey at 200 degrees?

Answer 1

perhaps as long at 24 hours

some things to be cautious about . . .

if heat spikes (like on a smoker) time will be shortened considerably

if heat wains (coals burn out) you might need to toss the bird as low temp cooking is very touchy as it relates to bacterial growth

Answer 2

I highly recommend you cook your turkey at 350 degrees. Slower isn't better - just makes for a less-moist bird. At 350, you're looking at about 2.5 hours. At 200 degrees, significantly more, likely 6 hours or more.

Answer 3

14 pounds turkey, washed and dried

salt

dried thyme, crumbled

dried basil, crumbled

black pepper

cayenne pepper

white pepper

butter, softened

Rub turkey with butter. Wrap ends of legs and wings with aluminum foil to prevent burning while cooking. Sprinkle salt, thyme, basil, and three peppers (black, red and white) onto turkey and rub in well.

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

Place turkey in oven and cook at 500 degrees F until honey-colored (10-20 minutes). Leave uncovered. Lower heat to 200 degrees F and cook 40-50 minutes per pound. Baste occasionally.

Do NOT stuff this turkey, due to the low cooking temperature. Cook dressing separate.
