I just put my turkey in about 1.5 hours ago, already 144F internal temperature. I injected him with butter mixed with sage, and garlic powder.
This 18 lb bird is 120F after an hour and a half. I thought that was fast. But it's a biggun, it's my tradition to get a larger turkey than needed. We have 6-7 eaters.
Keryx thought he was warming up to fast so we reset the probe and the temp went down to 135 after 1:44. OOPs I'm Stoned
i thought you were familiar with the plump part of the breast
2 hours in, 134F. Still seems too fast.
3 1/4 in 157F tent is off we're on final turn
Trying a new recipe. Cut the bird up into pieces first and roasting them in two shallow pans with onions and carrots and 2 cups of water. It's only supposed to take 90 minutes.
Only problem is it uses both racks, so timing the side dishes is tricky.
Aiming for 6pm or so.
