Cooking a turkey at 175 degrees Celsius (which is 347 degrees Fahrenheit) requires careful attention to both weight and time. As a general guideline, you should plan on cooking your turkey for 30 minutes per kilogram. For a turkey of average size (5kg or 11lbs), this translates to about 2.5 to 3 hours. However, the best indicator of doneness is an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast and thigh. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure safety.
