Hi All,
Quick question - I'm preparing 2 turkeys for Christmas - 2 reasons...
1) Couldn't find one bird big enough for us all
2) I intend to dry salt one of them and I have some family who have high blood pressure and require little / no salt.
I know what I need to do for prep but here's my question - how will cooking 2 birds at once impact cook time, temperature, etc.? I intend to cook them both side by side - my oven is standard size. It will be tight but I think they will fit. They are about 13 / 14 lbs each.
Normally I would cook one for about 3 hours at 375, give or take. Any suggestions? Is this a totally bad idea for some reason?
Thanks!
