Using a Meat Thermometer in Turkey Correctly

A meat thermometer in turkey should check the thickest breast and the innermost thigh without touching bone. One reading is not enough for a large, uneven bird.

Buying guide

Common questions

Questions before you buy

Where should I place a meat thermometer in a whole turkey?

Check the thickest breast and innermost thigh, keeping the probe away from bone.

Where do you put a meat thermometer in turkey?

Insert the sensing area fully into thick meat rather than the cavity.

Does stuffing need a separate reading?

Yes. Check the centre of stuffing separately because it heats differently from the bird.

Can one leave-in probe confirm the whole turkey?

It tracks one point; verify additional areas before serving.
