I am going to spatchcock a 10 -12 lb turkey …and I will have higher chance of moist turkey breast. I do it with my chicken and the breast comes out so moist. Stuffing is cooked separately using the juices in the roasting pan and chicken stock, etc. I take turkey out at 155 to 158 and let it rest under a tented foil. The carryover heat will bring the temp up. I generally don’t eat other people’s turkey as it’s too dry for me.
imo you don't have to go that high. You can just stay at 150 but for longer. It will produce much juicer meat. Yes it can be a little risky so test kitchen won't out right say it.
When the turkey stands up , throws his / her wings up in the air and says , "That's it, I'm tired of this I'm done !". Then kicks open the door and walks out of the oven …
Absolutely no way chefs at America's Test Kitchen are leaving their turkey in the oven until 165. I think every media outlet is just too scared of getting sued if they say that they actually pull the turkey out at 150-155.
If you wait after 155F when the thermometer is between the leg joint and body cavity, then your guests will be treated with an ultra dry piece of Turkey.
The turkey is done when 3 different people give me their unsolicited advice to take it out
This is great!
Set the turkey breast side up in boiling water for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from pan of water and put turkey in the roaster. Cook to breast temp of 160. Dark meat will be 170-175 at that point.
Carryover crosses the finish line.
That’s way overcooked temperatures
It’s only 155 F

No one talks about carryover temperature.. you pull at 150-155, it will reach the safe temps
175 is carbonized

That turkey is over cooked.
165 is dry meat
If it’s the perfect shade of brown when you take a picture without a filter it’s done
bad advice tbh
pull at 150 unless you like really dry turkey
Another great video. Thank you

So the breast should reach 165 deg and then take it out? Carry over cooking time adds how many more degrees??? Overcooked breast meat.
How do you know when the turkey is done? You pray
Like my mother says, it's done, when it's done.
More people need to watch this. I’m tired of eating dry turkey at other peoples houses 😣 It’s like eating sand
When he quits gobbling

The turkey is ready when my sister takes it out of the oven. After two underdone turkeys I am no longer trusted with turkey.
Take it out of the oven when the breast reaches 155 because of carryover heat
What if you don’t have a turkey???
165 degree turkey breast = sawdust
