As with any turkey cooking schedule, you want to make sure that you have already thawed your turkey before setting your cooking time, and then you are ready to head off to the races.

One more final tip for those turkey cooks out there on Thanksgiving, is that there is a slight difference in cooking times for Butterball Turkeys that have been prepared with stuffing as compared to those that are being served up by themselves. Make sure that if you are stuffing your turkey that you take a look at the potential differences in your cooking schedule. These cooking times are also based upon the Butterball recommended cooking temperature of 325 degrees.

Tips to Knowing Your Butterball Turkey is Done
When your turkey thermometer reaches 165 degrees in the center of the turkey it is done, as well as it if reaches 180 degrees deep into the thigh of the bird. Juices should also be at a clear state with no signs of pink when the thigh muscles are pierced. Careful lifting that turkey out of the oven, but at this point it is ready to go and you should also give it 15 additional minutes to stand and absorb the juices according to the Butterball Turkey web site.
