Now, when it comes to cooking time, things can get a bit tricky. The general rule of thumb is to cook a stuffed turkey for about 20 minutes per pound, but that can vary depending on the oven temperature, the stuffing density, and even the turkey's mood (just kidding about that last one, or am I?). For a 20-pounder, that's around 400 minutes, or roughly 6-7 hours of cooking time.
But here's the thing: you can't just leave that turkey in the oven for 6 hours without checking on it. You'll need to baste it every 30 minutes or so to keep it nice and moist, and make sure the internal temperature reaches a safe 165°F (74°C). And don't even get me started on the thermometer – you'll need one of those to ensure your turkey is cooked to perfection.
