Thereof,What’s the best temperature to cook a turkey breast?

I find it is best to start the turkey at a fairly high temperature (400°F), roast for about twenty minutes and then lower the heat to 350°F for the remainder of the cooking time. Sometimes I forget to lower the oven, though, and the turkey still comes out fine, just perhaps a little darker than I would like!

In this regard,Which is hotter a Turkey in the oven or a smoker?

That depends on the temperature the turkey was being cooked at. When taken from a 325º oven, the turkey’s surface is hotter than it would be when removed from a 250º smoker. Taken from the oven, the internal temperature could easily rise another 5 degrees, or even more.

Likewise, people ask,What should internal temp of Turkey be when taken out of oven?

In 325 degree oven, when the internal temperature reaches 165º, the surface temperature might be 20 degrees higher. And when it’s taken out, the overall temperature of the food equalizes, and settles at a final internal temperature that’s above the internal temp at the moment the turkey is pulled from the cooker.
