Agreed, which is why I bought a digital thermometer and prob my bird multiple times in different locations and depths to make absolutely sure of this.

Turkey takes hours depending on the size and weight. Chicken is a bit less.

Ducks are usually about five or six pounds and very fatty which means they cook a bit faster than most other birds. I don't normally roast them myself, I cut them into chunks and make a duck soup or stew.

..... and a critical skill for any would be Thanksgiving chef out there .... LEARN TO MAKE TASTY SAVOURY GRAVY! It doesn't matter how well you cook your turkey, chicken or duck, if you don't make a good gravy with it, it won't be fun for anyone.

I just watched Babish (dude in YouTube) make a browned-butter roux. What a game changer for gravy.

Do you have a link to the video? or at least a description so that we can find it? I'm always on the lookout for new ways to make gravy ... to me it's the key to any big feast.

Not sure if this is the video OP meant, but here's one of Babish making Gravy.
