Well here is the finished product. 5 1/2 hours for a 20 lb bird (stuffed)..... Going to let her sit for 30 minutes then we're going to go to town!!

I'll report back a little later on the results......Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Well........the Verdict is in and the Turkey was a hit

In hindsight I probably could have cooked it about 30 minutes longer but the little pop-up thermometer that came in the bird had popped up even though the meat thermometer said only 155. It was certainly juicy and the breast meat was done....we put the dark meat back in after carving and finished it off.

I'll do this again next year for sure. Thanks to everyone especially Rogerthat99 for all the help and advice.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Congrats on the success.

Listening to a cooking show this week, they said those little pop up things are horrible to go by.

Thank you Paul. I am glad it worked well for you. One more piece of advice... Don't rely on the Pop Up thermometer. LOL.
