I am roasting a wild turkey (I'm told it cooks just like a store bought) and obviously it does not have a pop up timer. I also do not have a meat thermometer. Any ideas??

Please, can anyone provide insight on how to determine 110 degrees (c) on skin contact or by any other possible means as an alternative. No [...]
