_Some_ people have already given you good advice on this. [Harumph!]

FWIW, I would have figured that if you're doing essentially a pot
roast, then that's how long it'll take: about 20 - 30 minutes per
pound. Turkey is tougher than chicken, and if you're using Kosher
turkey, it can be a little tougher still, not being pumped full of
all those loverly chemicals.

The Joy of Cooking (one of the older, sane editions) recommends 2
hours or more for a 5-6 lb. stewing hen or small turkey, jointed.

Maybe the thing to do is allow three hours, and it might take less than that.
