PSA: If you are cooking your turkey to 165, or even 160, you’re cooking it too long.

130° is delectable.

It's so good, they call the range from 40°F to 140°F the "Danger Zone"

For the breast yes. The dark meat should be higher.

Thighs / drumsticks are better >175 - use ice bags on the breast before cooking

Easier just to quarter the bird and roast each piece to proper temp

If it's about being"easy" we'd just pick a meat that tasted good to start with!

Once it hits 150, take it out and it will keep cooking...

150 max. They keep cooking a little when pulled from heat. One BBQ guy says 145.

While 145 is safe when allowed to rest I like the texture more when it’s

Correct as it will continue to cook after you’ve taken it out of the heat
