As a general rule, to covert conventional cooking to convection cooking, reduce the temperature by 25°F and the cooking time by approximately 10 to 15%.Cooking in a Regular Oven at 325ºFWEIGHT & COOKING TIME6 - 7 POUNDS, 2 - 2 ½ HOURS7 - 10 POUNDS, 2 ½ - 3 HOURS10 - 18 POUNDS - 3 - 3 ½ HOURS18 - 22 POUNDS - 3 ½ - 4 HOURS22 - 24 POUNDS - 4 - 4 ½ HOURS24 - 30 POUNDS - 4 ½ - 5 HOURSCooking in a Convection Oven at 325ºFWEIGHT & COOKING TIME6 - 7 POUNDS, 1 ½ - 2 HOURS7 - 10 POUNDS, 2 - 2 ½ HOURS10 - 18 POUNDS, 2 ½ - 3 HOURS18 - 22 POUNDS, 3 – 3 ½ HOURS22 - 24 POUNDS, 3 ½ - 4 HOURS24 - 30 POUNDS, 4 – 4 ½ HOURSNo matter what the schedule above is displaying. Be sure to check the temperature of your bird at least ⏱️ 1 hour before the final cooking time to make sure that you are at least 90% of the desired temperature. For example if you are cooking a 20 lbs bird in a regular oven and the cooking time is expected to be 3 ½ to ⏱️ 4 hours. After 2 ½ hours your turkey inside temperature should be about 135. Another hour should bring to your desire 155 to 165.DOUBLE CHECK YOUR TEMPERATURE AS MANY TIMES AS IT IS NECESSARY AND NEVER COOK THE TURKEY OVER 165
