Turkey Thigh. First, you want to put the thermometer in the turkey thighs to determine the internal temperature. When you insert the thermometer in the turkey thighs, do you want to insert the thermometer into the thickest part of your turkey thigh, as close to the bone without touching it as you can get. The internal temperature of your turkey thigh should read at least 180°F in order for the turkey thighs to be fully cooked.
Turkey Breasts. Next, you’ll want to insert a thermometer into both turkey breasts. Insert the thermometer into both sides of your turkey breast in the thickest part, and into the center. Ideally, you want the internal temperature of both turkey breasts to read at least 170°F in order for the turkey breasts to be fully cooked and safe to eat.
Turkey Stuffing. Finally, if you are stuffing your turkey you will also want to check the internal temperature of your stuffing to be sure that it is cooked and safe to eat. The internal temperature of your stuffing should read 165°F for it to be safe to eat.
