I bought this Turkey meal deal, ready to eat thing.

I am heating the Turkey now, following the instruction that says 10
mins at 325 per pound. But there is no weight info on the Turkey except
that I am aware that it is for 10 people. Instruction said to check
with thermometer until the thickest part of it reaches 160 but I didn't
pick one up yesterday.

So, I need to figure out how much a Turkey for 10 people weight so that
I can time it? Any idea?

I have never done handling of any big meal before. I am doing it for my
visiting brother.

I would guess that the turkey is about 15 lbs.

If you have a bathroom scale, set the turkey on it and weigh it.

Nah, I don't have that thing. Never bought and will never buy. I
figured it it was about 10 - 15 lbs because if it's too heavy, I
wouldn't be able to lift it up. I reheated it for 90 minutes and let it
sit inside the oven for another 1/2 hour by which time people, arrived.


It was so tasty. I should have just cated like I cooked it
