You cook it?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Cook much?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Single?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

180° in the thigh.

Just call me matchmaker; no need to thank me.

BTW, buy a fryer with peanut oil. 4 minutes per pound or til it floats (heat up to 325 to 350).

Once you go fried, you'll never go back.

Cover it with seeds,
Cook it 'til it bleeds,
Take it from the oven
And cut it 'til it pleads.

Thuh end.

1000 C for 5 seconds.

There are a few people on this post who told you to stuff it. I would think people could be nicer on Thanksgiving day.

About three and a half seconds should do it.

Here's the grill:

Too late girl....call for take out!

And, you started planning when?

Mustang sends...w/ mega :-D

[socal_parrot]

First buy one of these....

And then cook it for twelve minutes a pound.

Okay...I'm probably too late but here it goes. As I raise turkeys every year I ALWAYS get asked this question. The best guideline I've run across is from Fannie Farmer.This is for a STUFFED turkey.

Preheat oven to 325 then cook @ 15min/lb. if turkey weights LESS THAN 16lbs., cook at 12min./lb if HEAVIER than 16 lbs.

At 19lbs. you might want to cover it with tin foil half way through so as not to dry out breast and legs.

Happy Thanksgiving!

When it's smoking it's cooking, when it's black it's done!

Preparing a Traditional Thanksgiving Turkey by carlo3b - #215

My wife (Cordon Bleu Chef) says:

Turkey:

180 degrees C, 16-18 minutes per 450 grams, for turkey over 4.5 kilos

Baste frequently.

Personally, I'd just cook it until it looks right and the juices run clear when I poke it!

I did an 18 pounder this morning in a cooking bag. It took 3-1/2 hours, and was DELICIOUS!

I've been cooking Thanksgiving dinner for over 20 years, and have wrapped turkeys in foil, done them in brown paper bags, and just about any other method I've read about, except deep frying.

Cooking bags are the best - turkey is moist, LOTS of juice for gravy. They're the only way to go.

Happy Thanksgiving one and all!

Hope your turkey was "done" to perfection!

Had to share this story with the forum today. Our next door neighbor, Bubba, was outside "deep-frying" Mr. Turkey. He told us the Turkey weighed 10 pounds and he had been deep frying it for 3 hours!! (He said he lost the directions how long to deep fry it).

I looked it up on the internet for him, and it says "Deep Fry 35 minutes for 10 pounds"...

I think he ended up with one crispy, greasy critter. Didn't have the heart to ask him how it was...poor guy.
