So, why does the temperature matter, you ask? Well, my curious friend, the temperature affects the tenderness and juiciness of the turkey. Cooking at 325 degrees Fahrenheit is generally recommended, as it allows for a slower and more even cooking process, resulting in a deliciously moist bird.
But, what about 350 degrees, you might be thinking? Isn't that a more common temperature for cooking? Yes, it is, but cooking at 350 can lead to a slightly drier turkey, especially if you're not careful. So, unless you're looking for a crispier skin, 325 is the way to go!
