(WBAP/KLIF News) Ovens around the nation are full of turkeys today, and some of those may not come out as planned. Nicole Johnson is a turkey talk line expert with Butterball and she says a bird 18-22 lbs should be cooked for 4-5 hours. She also recommends that all sizes of turkeys cook at 325 from start to finish. Johnson recommends covering up the breast area with foil 2/3 of the way through the cook time to prevent the white meat from getting too brown. Johnson says when the breast gets to 170 degrees, your turkey is ready. If you need help today, call 1.800.butterball.
