Conventional Oven Method

When cooking a turkey in a bag in a conventional oven, it is important to follow a time chart to ensure your turkey is cooked to perfection. For a turkey that is 12-14 pounds, the recommended cooking time is approximately 2-2.5 hours at 325°F. For larger turkeys, add 15-20 minutes per pound. Make sure to always use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the turkey, which should reach 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh.

Convection Oven Method

If you are using a convection oven to cook your turkey in a bag, the cooking time may be slightly shorter than with a conventional oven. For a 12-14 pound turkey, the recommended cooking time is approximately 1.5-2 hours at 325°F. Again, always use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Remember to adjust the cooking time for larger turkeys by adding 15-20 minutes per pound.

Electric Roaster Method

Another popular method for cooking turkey in a bag is using an electric roaster. The cooking time for a 12-14 pound turkey in an electric roaster is approximately 2-2.5 hours at 325°F. Make sure to check the internal temperature of the turkey with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F. Adjust the cooking time for larger turkeys by adding 15-20 minutes per pound.
