How long to cook turkey

Every year my son-in-law buys a big 22 lb. to 23 lb. turkey for Thanksgiving. The package says 4.5 hrs. to cook. I would think more like 8 - 10 hrs. @ 325 degrees f. Every year the turkey isn’t done on time. The guests are hungry. The children are grumpy and my daughter is angry. But even when I look online I got low cooking times like my son-in-laws. Your 20 min. per pound is the best estimate I’ve seen so far. Why this discrepency?

Answer #1

you should try frying it , sounds weird . but two thanksgivings ago my uncle fried a turkey , it was amazing . because it wasnt dry and it had sooo much flavor . (:
