A 14.0-lb oven-roasted turkey takes about 3 hr 2 min.

  • Always verify doneness with a meat thermometer: the thickest part of the thigh (away from the bone) must reach 165 F (74 C).
  • Your 14.0-lb bird yields about 10 servings, enough for 8 guests with leftovers.

Next stepLet the turkey rest at least 30 minutes after removing it from the oven, tented loosely with foil. Resting lets juices redistribute so carving is cleaner and the meat stays moist.
