After 30 minutes, the turkey is ready to come out...so he can go right back in.

Lower temp to 350F.

Insert the probe thermometer in the thickest part of the turkey breast. Be careful not to hit bone. If you do, just back out a little bit (don't make a bunch of holes!).

Set the thermometer to alarm at 161F.

Carefully cover the breast with the aluminum foil triangle...don't burn yourself!

Return the turkey to the oven, minding the probe cable--don't crimp it.

If you don't have a probe, a 14 to 16 lb bird will take about 2 1/2 hours to bake. Use an instant read thermometer to take the temperature of the thick part of the breast after that time. If it's at 160ish, pull it out.

Let the turkey rest for 15 minutes before carving. Do Not pull out that stupid popup timer before then!

Bon apetit!
