The recommended internal temperature for a cooked turkey is 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the bird, which is the breast, according to the USDA and most sources. However, some sources suggest that the turkey can be taken out of the oven at 160°F (71°C) as the temperature will continue to rise during resting. It's important to use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the turkey. The temperature should be measured in the innermost part of the thigh and wing, and the thickest part of the breast
