This is a tricky question. First, the standard roasting temperature is a preheated oven at 350 °F or 180°C or gas mark 7 hot If ever in doubt about length of cooking time, speak with your butcher for his opinion. However, to safely roast a turkey or for that matter any farm raised poultry, it should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) using a proper and calibrated digital cooking thermometer. Not to be confused with an Oven or Candy thermometer. When you insert the tbermometer into the turkey, please ensure it is in the thickest (meatiest) part of the breast meat. Leave the thermometer Inserted for at least two to three minutes or when the reading stops climbing. This is in accordance with standard HACCP proceedures. When the 'big walking bird' is at the required temperature, remove from the oven, cover with cooking foil and let rest 5 minutes minimum before carving. It is also strongly advised that after the 5 minutes rest, immediately remove all stuffing from the bird. Far too many family members around the world have fallen ill because of 'guessing' at when the bird is cooked. Be smart and invest in a cooks thermometer and you will always have not only a cooked meal but a safe one as well. Good luck and happy Thanksgiving or whatever celebration is coming your way.
