If you choose to stuff your turkey, stuff loosely. The stuffing should be moist, not dry, since heat destroys bacteria more rapidly in a moist environment. Place stuffed turkey in oven immediately. You may also cook the stuffing outside the bird in a casserole. Judging cooking time for your turkey will be easier if the following chart is used. The times listed are for a fresh or thawed turkey in an oven at 325°F. These times are approximate.

Reply:approx 20 minutes per pound at 325 to 350. until center is approx 170 degrees. That makes the turkey safe to eat. But then I lower the temperature to 275 and leave it until we are ready and the extra cooking makes it more tender. I also cook my turkey with the breast side down and it is more juice and tasty, but not pretty.
Reply:350 for about 5 hours
Reply:put it on 350 and make sure that it is in a turkey bag It will talk about 5 hours


good luck
