Should you cook a turkey at 325 or 350 degrees? How to: Fix your dark spots. Surgeon explains at home fix for dark spots and uneven skin tones on skin. I cook mine un-stuffed and un-covered at 500°F/260°C and they come out perfect every time. The lower the roasting temperature, the more the meat will dehydrate rather than cook.
Its unlikely your oven is correctly calibrated to with 25degrees Fahrenheit soit makes no difference really. Your oven at 350 could be 325, 375, or something even wider , Experienced home gardener and cook. I like 325F and I have no basis as to why. I do smoking and BBQ and know lower is better. I cook at 225F on the smoker for the best.

Well, if the turkey is precooked, you only need to warm it up. The key is to do that without drying it out. I would bake it in a warm oven around 300F, after pouring some chicken broth or stock in the bottom of the pan. Insert a meat thermometer, and cover tightly with foil.
