Best Answer

The final temperature of the bird, after "resting" for 15 to 20 minutes, should be at least but not much more than 165 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature will continue to rise 5 to 10 degrees after the turkey is removed from the oven. See attached link for suggested cooking times based on the weight of the turkey.

Is it better to cook a turkey upside down?

It makes the breast meat more moist and tender just as basting does cooking up right.

It does become a little more greasy cooking upside down but tasty.

Cooking time for turkey breast?

There is not a set and predefined time to prepare a turkey. It depends on many things. If the bird is almost frozen, it will be needing more time to cook. If one uses foils around the turkey, it decreases the time of cooking. If it is stuffed, it takes more time to cook. Generally, the time could be from 40 to around 90 minutes.

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.
