Question 169990: i didn't know what section this should go under:
I bought a turkey that weighs 23.5 pounds. My recipe says to cook it at 375 degrees. If the turkey is unstuffed , it should cook for 10 minutes per pound. If the turkey is stuffed, it should cook at 12 minutes per pound. The recipe says the turkey should rest for 10 minutes after it is removed from the oven before it is carved. My family wants to start watching the football game at 4:00 pm. If I allow 15 minutes to carve the turkey and I allow 1 hour to eat dinner, what time should my stuffed turkey go into the oven (to the nearest minute) so that we can finish our meal just at the time the game starts?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To cook the "stuffed turkey":
23.5 * 12 = 282 minutes
or 4 hours 42 minutes
.
"cooking time" + "cool down" + "carving" + "eating" = "total time"
282 + 10 + 15 + 60 = 367 minutes
.
or
6 hours 7 minutes
.
Subtracting the above from 4 PM:
Turkey should go in the oven at:
9:58 AM
.
Note: oven is assumed to be pre-heated
