  Notes: The roasting the turkey in foil method will cut the time in half.For example, a 24 lb bird will cook in about 4 hours rather than 8 to 8 1/2 hours. The bird is done when the thermometer reads 190. Also by moving the drumstick up and down. If it moves easily and the meat feels soft when the thickest part of the drumstick is pressed, it is done.
