Cooking a turkey can be a daunting task, especially if you’re not sure how long to cook it. A general rule of thumb is to cook the turkey for 13 minutes per pound, at 325 degrees Fahrenheit. So, for a 22-lb turkey, you would cook it for approximately 286 minutes, or about 4 hours and 46 minutes.
There are a few things you can do to ensure that your turkey is cooked evenly and to perfection. First, make sure that the turkey is completely thawed before cooking. Second, remove the turkey from the oven about 30 minutes before it is done cooking and let it rest. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the turkey, resulting in a more moist and flavorful bird.
