How Long to Cook a Turkey in a Bag
The amount of time it takes to roast a turkey in a bag will depend a lot on the size of the bird and whether it's stuffed or unstuffed, ranging from an hour and a half to three and a half hours or more at 350 degrees. If you like to baste your turkey as it roasts in the oven, using an oven bag can be a great option, as it allows the turkey to baste itself, without any need for you to open the oven; which lets out heat and can slow down the cooking process.
