Turkey Temperature

With Thanksgiving just a few days away, it is time to start preparing for this special day and of course, the delicious food we are going to eat! Something that can’t be missing in the Thanksgiving dinner tables across the USA is the roasted turkey.  No matter if you like it stuffed or unstuffed, the turkey is a symbol of this day.

We have already told you in past days how to calculate the turkey cooking time, but still there are a lot of people who want to know what temperature to cook a turkey.

Well, for turkey, you should know that it can’t be cooked in a temperature lower than 325º F.  Poultry must follow this rule when going into the oven, especially for potential food safety issues.

By using a meat thermometer, you’ll be able to know when the turkey is ready.  Just wait until it reaches 180º F in the high or 170º F in the breast.

If you are going to cook the turkey wrapped in foil, you will need to use higher temperature.  450º F must be set in the oven. Remember that you must open the foil to give the turkey the golden brown color that looks delicious on the table. If it is enclosed on an oven cooking bag, it is best to set the temperature at 350º F.

I hope this information has been good to you, so you can start enjoying Thanksgiving! Got any tips on cooking turkey? Share them here!
