Turkey Heating Instructions

Roasting 4 turkey drumsticks – Each weighs about 1 lb to 1 ¼ lb. Place the 4 drumsticks in a preheated 325° oven for 1 ½ hour to 1 ¾ hour.

Roasting a turkey breast - For a 5 to 7 pound turkey breast, you MUST wrap the breast in foil to keep it moist. It helps to drizzle olive oil over it, then season with herbs. Roast at 325° for 2 hours for a 5 pound turkey breast and 2 ¾ hours for a 7 pound breast. For a 3 to 4 pound breast roast for 1 ½ to 1 ¾ hours.
