I wouldn't cook it at 250. By the time you get the inside hot enough to kill bacteria(160F) the outside will be as dry as cardboard.

Try this recipe from Alton Brown
1 half hour at 500F

Cover breast with foil

Cook 1.5-2 hours at 350F until meat thermometer reaches 160F

Also, you might want to get an oven thermometer to make sure your oven is getting to temperature you are setting it at. Many ovens are amazingly inaccurate. Mine is off by 50 degrees.

At 350 degrees you usually cook the turkey for 20 minutes per pound, but at the low temperature of 250 you'll need to cook it for 6 to 8 hours. Check with a meat thermometer and make sure if reaches 165 or higher in the deepest part of the turkey.

That would depend on how accurate your oven temperature is as well as the starting temperature of the turkey. Turkey is considered safe to eat when it has an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

How long does it take to cook a 21 pound turkey at 450?

450 degrees is too hot to cook a turkey because it will become dry. If you are cooking it in the oven, follow the directions on the plastic packaging that comes around your turkey. Usually about 350 degrees is better because you want to cook a turkey slow until the fork goes in easily about 5 to 8 hours of cooking time, unless you are deep frying it then that is a different procedure.
