Need quick help regarding cooking a stuffed turkey! One more question added at the bottom.
This has never happened to me before. The timer popped before the meat thermometer reached 180 degrees. Is it because it is stuffed? Should I let it cook until the thermometer reaches 180? I have one of those thermometers that you stick in the bird and it stays in while you cook it. This is the biggest turkey I've cooked. 15lbs. I kept it in the oven for now. I should just keep it in until it reaches temperature, right? TIA!

Thanks ladies! 1 more question. It's been in the oven since 9:30 on 325. That's 6 hours. Does a 15lb plus turkey take that long too cook? The inside is at 169 degrees right now. So I'd say about another hour or so it'll be cooking.
ETA: I just took the aluminum foil tent off of it too. If that makes a difference.

The dial says 325, but have you ever "calibrated" the oven by using a freestanding thermometer in the oven?

180 degrees is an old guideline. 165 is the new standard. A turkey should cook 15 minutes per pound at 325 approx. I definitely think your turkey is ready.
