Turkey Roasting Timetable Chart

The times in this chart are based on roasting in an open pan at 325°F with a chilled turkey (internal temperature of 40°F). The turkey is done when a meat thermometer reads between 180°F-185°F when inserted into a thigh; and 165°F when inserted into the center of the stuffing, if roasting the bird stuffed. Loosely cover the turkey once it has been removed from the oven. A whole roasted turkey will stay warm for up to an hour.
