See the " Turkey Guide" for many valuable turkey cooking tips. See the article " Turkey Doneness" for additional information on determining the proper doneness of meat. Use the following chart as a turkey cooking time and temperature guide for whole turkeys and turkey parts that are oven baked or roasted, grilled, or are inserted into an oven bag prior to cooking the turkey. Using an accurate meat thermometer is the best way to ensure the proper doneness of turkey meat.

Using the recommended time and temperature guidelines will ensure that the meat is cooked to the minimum safe internal temperature, which is critical in preventing food-borne illness that can be caused by undercooked turkey.
