With Holland Digital Thermometer and 12-14 lb. turkey the alarm set for 180 degerees the alarm went off in about 2 hours does this mean the turkey was done in 2 hours. The way I figured the weight of turkey and time should have been about 3.5 hours. Am I doing something wrong? THANKS |

ITs 15 min per pound OR when it reaches 180 deg. As long as you put the thermometer in the meaty part and not against a bone. Sounds like the thermometer was not in the middle of the turkey. Seems like it wouldve taken a little longer. |

I've found that the best place to put the thermometer is in the thigh. It takes the thigh a little longer than the rest of the bird to cook. Therefore, you're assured of a done turkey. |

Chet: I put the probe in the chicken thigh also. I also use the Holland Roasting Post, which makes for a really tasty chicken Skip |
