By barbsjustagirl
These are the instructions I followed for cooking my Thanksgiving turkey using my convection setting on the oven
- Many variables can affect the roasting time of the whole turkey:

- Cooking Time
- 300 º F. 14-18 lbs. 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 hours 14-18 lbs. 2 1/2 to 3 hours
- 300 º F. 18-22 lbs. 2 1/2 to 3 hours 18-22 lbs. 3 to 3 1/2 hours
- A partially frozen turkey requires longer cooking time.
- Dark roasting pans cook faster than shiny metals.
- The depth and size of the pan can reduce heat circulation to all areas of the turkey.
- The use of a foil tent for the entire cooking time can slow cooking.
- Use of a roasting pan lid speeds cooking.
- An oven cooking bag can accelerate cooking time.
- A stuffed turkey takes longer to cook.
- Oven may heat food unevenly.
- Calibration of the oven's thermostat may be inaccurate.
- The rack position can have an effect on even cooking and heat circulation.
- A turkey or its pan may be too large for the oven, thus blocking heat circulation.
