Step 3 Place the meat thermometer in the turkey

If you're using an oven-safe meat thermometer, place it just above the thighbone and point it toward the body. The thighbone is relatively centered in the thigh. The thermometer should not touch the bone, but should go deep into the thigh meat. Turn the thermometer so you can read the dial while the turkey is roasting.

If you're using an instant-read thermometer, it won't be safe in the oven while the turkey is roasting, but you can use it in the later stages of roasting to find out how done the turkey is. When using it, position it in the same place you would an oven-safe thermometer.
