19 Pound Turkey Baked at 355 Degrees for 4 1/2 Hours. Uncover the turkey and continue to bake for 35 to 40 Minutes. To achieve a golden looking Turkey turn broil Hi and keep a close watch as it gets to the desired golden skin.

Tip:
Turkey is fully cooked when internal temp reaches 164 degrees (F).
Insert the thermometer in between the turkey leg and the turkey breast for best temp results. Don't confuse the stuffing as the turkey temperature.
Follow the suggested cooking time listed on the turkey package and roast and additional 35 minutes to achieve a golden roast.
The oven used this year is a regular oven. If you have a BROIL tray at the bottom. Not to worry! Place oven on 500 degrees (F) keep Turkey in the exact location in the oven and you will produce enough heat to roast your turkey to perfection.
You can achieve a faster roast by adding extra butter to the skin of the turkey before you broil. I skipped it for his recipe and broiled it for 35 minutes.
Take your turkey out of the freezer 3 days prior to cooking. Place it in your refrigerator go thaw out.
