Want to know the cooking time for your turkey to ensure the best (and safest) results?

This year it’s quick and simple. Just enter the weight of your turkey in the calculator, and it will calculate the correct cooking time to ensure your turkey is cooked to perfection.

Nothing is simple. Hooking up a modem is simpler than cooking a turkey.

Cooking instructions for the online calculator and SMS service cooking times

Our calculated turkey cooking times are for use in electric fan assisted ovens only. See below for guidance on cooking turkeys using other oven types.

Prior to serving, ensure your turkey is properly cooked – it should be piping hot all the way through with no pink meat left and the juices should run clear when the thickest part of the thigh and breast are pierced with a clean fork or skewer

If you are cooking a stuffed turkey, the centre of the stuffing should also be piping hot as this is the slowest part of a stuffed bird to cook

How many bureaucrats are employed to publish this drivel?

Use a tip-sensitive digital thermometer (thanks Ben and Katrina, latest batch arrived today, changing cooking procedures in Australia, one at a time).

Gotta walk the talk.
