The thermometer's purpose is to check if meat has been cooked properly. I believe poultry needs to read 170F for it to be safe to eat. You stick it in the thigh, in the fleshiest part, CLOSE to the bone, but NOT touching the bone. Bone gets hotter than the rest of the meat and it will inaccurately measure how hot the meat is otherwise. When the juices from the turkey run clear, that's when you know it's done. Remember to let the turkey sit out for a while before you pop it in the oven. If it's still frozen inside, it won't cook all the way through.
