The biggest problem when cooking a stuffed turkey is making sure the stuffing is fully cooked......which usually means the turkey is overcooked and dried out.
The above cooking method is about the right time for a stuffed 20Lb turkey. The advantage is the pre-boil and first 3 hours is at a lower temp.
An unstuffed 20lb turkey should only take 4-4 1/2 hrs at 350*F.
Cooking time is misleading.......you want thigh meat at 165*F internal temp
That's your turkey lesson for today :B
