HAHAHAHA That nails it on the head. I waited until the thingy popped out all the way, and the turkey is as dry as a bone. LOL Its all good, my dressing came out wonderful . ;D
A pop-up turkey timer ― the kind that comes pre-inserted in your store-bought bird ― is probably one of the most unreliable kitchen gadgets of all time. By the time the timer does actually pop, your turkey will be overcooked and as dry as sawdust.
That’s because commercial turkey buttons are set to pop at 180 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit, even though you should actually remove the turkey from the oven when it reaches 160 degrees F (then you temperature will continue rising as it rests on the counter, to the FDA-recommended 165 degrees Fahrenheit). If you use a pop-up timer, you end up drastically overcooking your turkey.
OMG You are so right. It popped up and I took the turkey out just now. It popped ALL the way up. I sliced a piece off and its as try as the Sahara Desert. HAHAHAHA Its all good though. My dressing came out fabulous . THanks ALF and MERRY XMAS> ;D
