To cook a 16 lb turkey for 7 hours, you should set your oven to 325°F (163°C). At this temperature, the turkey should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the breast and thigh. It’s advisable to use a meat thermometer to ensure proper cooking and safety. Additionally, covering the turkey with foil during the first few hours can help retain moisture.
