Q. What temperature does the turkey need to hit to be safe?
The minimum safe internal temperature for turkey, according to the USDA, is 165 degrees. When cooking turkeys at high heat, like the Blast Furnace-Roasted Turkey, the thermometers that come with the bird may pop early, so make sure to keep a regular thermometer on hand. To check, insert a thermometer in the thickets part of the breast. Wash the thermometer between tests to ensure you don't cross-contaminate the bird.
