When it comes to cooking a turkey, size really does matter. A 23-pound turkey is going to take a lot longer to cook than a smaller one, obviously. But just how long are we talking, exactly - hours, maybe even days?
I did some research, and apparently, a good rule of thumb is to cook a turkey for about 20 minutes per pound. So, for a 23-pound turkey, that would be... math time...460 minutes, or around 7.67 hours. Yeah, that's a long time, but trust me, it'll be worth it!
Now, I know what you're thinking: "What if I don't have 7 hours to spare?" Well, there are some things you can do to speed up the cooking time, like using a turkey fryer or a convection oven. But let's be real, where's the fun in that?
