How To Cook A Frozen Turkey?

Confirm the turkey is fully frozen and remove all packaging

Preheat the oven to 325°F

Place the frozen turkey breast-side up on a roasting rack in a roasting pan

Do not stuff the turkey

Brush or rub the turkey with oil or melted butter if possible

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh

Roast the turkey uncovered

Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the breast and thigh

Expect the cooking time to be about 50% longer than a thawed turkey

If the skin browns too quickly, tent it loosely with foil

Check the temperature in multiple spots near the end of cooking

Let the turkey rest for at least 20 minutes before carving

Carve and serve once the temperature is safe
