Thigh 197* and Breast 153*. Is my turkey cooked?

[JeffB]

I covered the turkey breast with an ice pack as suggested before cooking so the breast and the thigh would be done at the same time.

However, using my Thermapen the thigh records 197*to 203* in some spots, and the breast records 151* to 157* in certain spots. Interestingly, the built in thermometer has not popped up yet.

I've been on since 1:30pm, so a total of nearly 4 hours, and I'm running at what I believe is close to 300* the whole time.

Am I cooked or should I continue to let it cook longer? What about the built in thermometer?

Thanks!

Peace.

Try to get the breast to 160*F.

Thank you sir.

Thank you sir.

unless you're concerned with pictures, you could cut off the legs & leave the rest in for >20 minutes while it comes up to temp

The first thing you do is toss the popup timer. Those are set to go off way too high.
