Turkey Timer
About the Turkey Timer
A holiday turkey is a math problem with an audience. This Turkey Timer counts roast time by weight, basting checkpoints, and the long rest that lets a big bird finish evenly. Thanksgiving cooks run thirteen-minutes-per-pound estimates, spatchcock fans time shorter hotter roasts, and first-timers get a reminder to start the gravy during the rest. Roast whole turkeys by weight with basting checkpoints and a proper rest window.
How to use it
- Open the Turkey Timer page and pick a preset or enter the time from your recipe.
- Label the dish or batch in the task field so parallel cooks stay identifiable.
- Start the countdown at the recipe-defined moment, like the water boiling or the pan reaching temperature.
- Stay within earshot and let the timer run; open the oven or lid only when checks are due.
- When the alarm sounds, confirm doneness by sight, feel, or thermometer before serving.
Good to know
Start the timer at the moment the recipe means, usually when the water is boiling or the food goes in. Times change with pan size, altitude, and how cold the food was. Stay nearby for the last minute.
