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.

See the link below for cooking times and temps for turkeys.
It is recommended when cooking turkey to cook at a high heat for 1 hour and then 350 for the rest of the time, about a half hour for every pound of a thawed turkey.
It makes the breast meat more moist and tender just as basting does cooking up right. It does not really make a difference as usually turkey dries out if it is not basted throughout cooking time as well as giving it time to sit after cooked or if it has been cooked too long. It does become a little more greasy cooking upside down but tasty.
about 4 hours at 350....check after 3 1/2 some ovens are hotter than others.
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.
Cooking time varies depending on the following:Covered Roasting Pan?Uncovered Roasting Pan ?Oil cooking?Stuffed or not?Oven Temperature used/set on?Best answer for traditional cooking time for a 17 lb. uncovered and stuffed Turkey with oven setting @ 325 degrees is 6hrs.Best answer for traditional cooking time for a 17 lb. covered and stuffed Turkey with oven setting @ 450 degrees would be 3 1/4 hrs.Hope this answer helps some of you! ENJOY and be THANKFUL!!Submitted by: SANThe average guidance is 20 min. per pound regardless of method, but test the turkey for 175F at the thigh and 165F at the breast before removing it.
This really depends on how strong your vertical rotisserie is. A 25 turkey is a very large turkey and would need a great amount of cooking time. Most household rotisseries only cook up to 8 pounds at a time.
Most cooking authorities are hesitant to stuff a turkey. It can be hard to get the stuffing to a high enough temperature to kill off any bacteria that may have gotten into it. It is believed that many cases of food poisoning are caused by undercooked stuffing.
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.
if its a butterball stuff its 4 1/4 at 325 degrees... not stuffed its 3 3/4
