Introduction

Are you wondering how long to cook that 10lb turkey? You’re not alone. In fact, I bet every year around this time people are searching for the answer to this question. Luckily, it’s quite easy to determine how long you need to cook a turkey—you just need to know how much it weighs and what temperature you want it cooked at (I recommend 325 degrees Fahrenheit).

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• If you don’t have a thermometer, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Celsius (or about 600 degrees Kelvin).
• To convert between Fahrenheit and Celsius, use this formula: C = 5/9(F – 32).

Put the turkey in a roasting pan with a rack or a roasting bag and pour 1/2 cup of water over it.

Put the turkey in a roasting pan with a rack or a roasting bag and pour 1/2 cup of water over it. Roast for 15 minutes per pound, plus an extra hour and 15 minutes.

Roast for 15 minutes per pound, plus an extra hour and 15 minutes.

You’ll want to roast your turkey for 15 minutes per pound. This means that if you have a 10-pound turkey, it will take approximately four hours and 15 minutes (or 215 minutes) to cook.

If you’re using an oven thermometer, make sure it’s inserted into the thickest part of the breast and not touching bone or fat–that way it will give you an accurate reading on how well done your bird is getting cooked!

You need to cook a 10lb turkey for 4 hours and 15 minutes.

If you’re wondering how long to cook a 10lb turkey, here are some tips and tricks for getting it right.

First, there’s the cooking time. The bigger the turkey (and the more people eating), the longer it will take to cook. You can use this chart to find out how long your bird should go in the oven:

• 1 pound per hour
• 2 pounds per hour
• 3 pounds per hour

If you don’t have a meat thermometer and don’t want to cut into your bird with an instant-read thermometer (which isn’t recommended), there’s another way of determining whether or not your turkey has reached its recommended internal temperature: Touching its thigh will tell you if it’s done! If it feels firm but not hard when pressed lightly with two fingers, then congratulations–you’ve got yourself one perfectly cooked holiday dinner!

Conclusion

You should now be able to confidently cook a 10lb turkey. The key is to remember that the temperature will drop as soon as you remove the bird from the oven, so plan accordingly!
