Cooking Time for a 13 Lb Turkeyを徹底追究! 読者が気になる トピックの裏側を凝縮して配信します。

Now, here’s a little secret: if you stuff your 13-pound turkey, you need to add 30 to 45 minutes to the cooking time. I learned this the hard way when I served raw stuffing that looked like a swamp.

Personally, I’m team cook stuffing on the side. It’s safer, and you don’t have to play chicken with salmonella. Plus, everyone can grab extra stuffing without digging into the bird’s backside—which is just nicer for all of us.

Check It Like You Mean It

Don’t just trust the timer. Grab a good meat thermometer and stick it into the thickest part of the thigh (not the breast, that’s a rookie mistake). You’re looking for 165°F in the breast and 175-180°F in the thigh.

I use a cheap digital thermometer that cost less than a latte. It’s saved me from serving “turkey jerky” more times than I can count. Thermometers are your friend—they never lie, unlike your uncle who says he loves Aunt Marge’s dry stuffing.
