About roasting turkey
The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) recommends cooking turkey until the juices run clear and no pink meat remains. The minimum safe internal temperature is 75°C (167°F), measured in the thickest part of the thigh away from bone.
Cooking times are estimates and depend on oven accuracy, the shape and starting temperature of your meat, and other factors. Always verify doneness with a reliable meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part, avoiding bone.
