Work out how long to roast your turkey and how long to thaw it, based on the weight of the bird and whether it is stuffed. Turkey timing is the classic holiday stress, and a wrong estimate ruins the day, so this calculator uses common roasting guidance of roughly 13 minutes per pound for an unstuffed bird and about 15 minutes per pound when stuffed, at an oven temperature near 165 C (325 F). It also estimates refrigerator thaw time at the widely cited rate of about 24 hours per 4 to 5 pounds, so you know when to start defrosting. These are planning figures, not a substitute for a thermometer: the turkey is done when the thickest part of the thigh reads 74 C (165 F). Rest the bird before carving. Everything is computed locally in your browser.
It estimates roasting time from the bird weight and whether it is stuffed or unstuffed, since stuffing adds cooking time.
Yes, it also gives an estimated thaw time by weight so you can plan when to move a frozen turkey to the fridge.
The tool shows a safe internal temperature target, and the thickest part of the bird should reach it before serving.
