This is where a kitchen thermometer comes in handy and is the best way to ensure your turkey isn't overcooked or undercooked. No one wants to cut into a turkey that still has pink meat or is crumbly and dry. Meat thermometers are so cheap and definitely worth getting! Your turkey will be done once it is golden brown and the thermometer reads between 165-170 degrees F. Don't forget to insert your thermometer into the thickest part of the meat (without touching a bone). If you are touching a bone then you will get an inaccurate temperature because the bone will be hotter than the meat.
