Turkey Cooking Time Calculator

This tool reads the roasting time for a turkey off the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service chart, which assumes a thawed bird in a 325 F oven. Enter the weight and say whether it is stuffed, and it returns the published band, the resting time, and the hour to start roasting if you tell it when you want to carve. A third tab covers thawing, both in the refrigerator and in cold water. The clock never decides when a turkey is done, a thermometer reading of 165 F in the thigh does, and every result says so.
