De acordo com uma receita bem cotada de Food Network para peru seco salgado:
Put the oven rack in the lowest position; preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the turkey breast-side up on a rack in a large roasting pan, tucking the wing tips under. Tie the drumsticks together with twine. Roast until the skin is golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thigh registers 165 degrees F, about 15 minutes per pound. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 30 minutes before carving.
Tenha em mente que existem muitas variáveis. Seu termômetro é seu amigo. Se o peru estiver recheado, pode levar 7,5 horas.
