1st try on Turkey

Former Member

Am trying a turkey for the first time - need any help. Have a 15# bird and would like to know how long per pound and at what temp, or I would assume, and I know what that will get me, I would put temp probe in breast meat, but what temp am I to take it off????

Thanks in advance!!!!

I would probe the thigh area. In past, that has been the slowest to get done for me.

I've started at 225, then brought it up to 250, then finish at 275-300. I also coat with butter during the cook. I have left it at each temp for 1 1/2 - 2 hours. And at the end until it is up to temp of 160-165 at thigh.

I have not gotten a time down on mine for size. I have just cooked while working, and taken it off when done. I bet Smokin, will have a time chart for weight.
