How long should you cook your turkey? - Chron
Though there are plenty of things to consider when it comes to how you're going to cook your Thanksgiving turkey, like whether or not to add stuffing or season it with a rub, timing is everything. And while you may have easily crunched the numbers on how many pounds you need to feed your guests or how many days it takes to thaw, calculating just how long you should keep your turkey in the oven is no simple task.
The duration of the roast depends on a number of things, including whether or not the bird is stuffed, how big it is and if it has been thawed. A stuffed turkey will take longer to cook through than a non-stuffed turkey, but not by much. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a frozen turkey requires about 50 perfect more time in the oven than a fully thawed turkey.
