    • Poultry should be only slightly chilled before roasting. All should
    • be cooked to a thermometer reading of 180 F - 185 F. Chicken and
    • Duck can be seared for 15 minutes at 425 F, and total roasting time
    • reduced 5 to 10 minutes. Check for doneness by lifting the end of
    • the leg bone; drumstick should move easily in its socket. Poultry

    Terrible! I could barely read this mess or understand how long I need to roast my 2 1/4 lb. turkey breast! How hard is it to create an actual table that clearly shows the correct times, temps and weights? I pity the poor girl who has to roast her 1st turkey for the family, hoping to impress her new mother-in-law, and lands on this shoddy website.
