I just put a butterball turkey (a small one, i think it’s turkey breast) in the oven at 6:31, i have a gas stove how long do i let it cook? It says to check its doneness with a thermometer but i don’t have one?
The bag doesn’t say anything about lbs. just that it should reach like 140 degrees and to check with a thermometer..but i don’t have one, can i poke it like i do with chicken?
