When you cook your turkey? Or just educated guess?
-
Definitely a meat thermometer, and not the pop-up kind that sometimes comes with them, though that's better than nothing. I have a probe thermometer that I can leave in the meat in the oven and the timer goes off when it reaches the right temp.
-
Yes, for sure. I think I have similar to what @shutterbug: mentioned. It has a wire attached to the thermometer and then sticks on my oven door with a magnet, and beeps when it comes to temp.
I use it for turkey and roast beef, but everything else I just guess.

I'm using a pop up
-
I do but DH does not and he's always right on! Many years of cooking a turkey a times a year.
-
Yes, but I want one you can leave in the oven instead of having to open the oven to check it
-
Always with something big like a turkey.
-
Yup! Definitely one that goes in the turkey and stays in it and can alert me when it gets up to temp. I think they call it an in-oven thermometer. Such a great investment.
-
Absolutely, how else would you know if it was done and not over cooked?
-
Yes, always for turkey - I'd be too nervous not to! Wouldn't want undercooked turkey.
-
@MrsH: I cooked the turkey in the crockpot, it was def done, not over or undercooked and meat practically fell off bone! I don't have a meat thermometer so I had to make do.
-
Always for any meat, better safe than sorry lol
-
Never used one.
-
Yeah, I have the kind several other bees have mentioned - it has a wire that attaches to a unit outside the oven that alerts me when it reaches whatever temp I set. I used it for my turkey yesterday, and usually also use it for pork tenderloin. Most other meats I just wing it.
