Cooking a turkey in the oven is a culinary technique that involves roasting a whole turkey in an oven. The cooking time for a turkey depends on its weight, and it is generally recommended to cook the turkey at a temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (163 degrees Celsius) for 13-15 minutes per pound. For example, a 10-pound turkey would take approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes to cook.
Roasting a turkey in the oven is a popular method of cooking turkey because it allows the turkey to cook evenly and results in a juicy and flavorful bird. Additionally, roasting a turkey in the oven is a relatively simple cooking method that does not require a lot of specialized equipment.
