Since this site suggests you book your Walt Disney World trip at least 180 days in advance of your arrival date, and the Disney website likely wonât allow that for 2016 dates until summer 2015 the earliest, knowing that there are ways to book out to 500 days ahead is really helpful !
Roast the turkey: The rule of thumb for cooking a turkey is 13 minutes per pound. So our 16-pound turkey was estimated to cook in about 3 1/2 hours. However, some factors like brining the bird, cooking with an empty (un-stuffed) cavity, and leaving the legs un-trussed will contribute to much faster cooking.
Lower the oven to 350Â°F and roast the turkey for 1 hour: Place the turkey in the oven and immediately lower the heat to 350Â°F. Roast for 1 hour, then begin checking the temperature. Check the turkey's temperature: The turkey is done when it reaches 165Â°F in the thickest part of the breast meat.Start checking after 1 hour of roasting and continue checking every 10 to 15 minutes until the breast is cooked through. Let the turkey breast warm: Transfer the turkey breast to the rack inside a roasting pan, or place on top of vegetables in a skillet or other baking dish. 2  Let the breast warm on the counter while the oven heats. 3  Preheat the oven to 450Â°F. Place an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven.
