Roasting the Turduken
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Place the stuffed turkey on a roasting pan and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Roast for approximately 4 to 5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the foil during the last hour of cooking to allow the skin to brown.
