is this big enough to roast a whole turkey?

I don't believe that it could handle anything larger then an 8 to 10lb. turkey. But if you have a small turkey or a roasting chicken, then I do believe that it would fit. I hope this helps you.

Definitely not. You can 'comfortably' fit a ~7lb chicken, but that's it. And be very careful - the tray & grate "tip" backwards as you pull them out - you HAVE to hold the tray/wire shelf steady until it 'catches' on the side support again (it's like there's a 'dead space' in the middle where the tray has nothing to rest on).

Yes to both. You won't fit a whole turkey though. It will barely fit a 9x13 pan.

Hi...the best way I can answer that is by the size of the turkey's we cook. A typical Thanksgiving Turkey at our house is 20pounds. NOT 23lbs but 20/21 max. Something else for you to think about. The Breast of the Turkey will not get Brown and crispy. My Grandmother had a Roaster that is still being passed around amongst my siblings. Her Roaster Lid was very heavy. Of all the Roasters I have tried and believe me I have tried them all...they do not measure up to Grandma's from the 40's or 1950's. The lids are made of thin cheap tin and do not cook the turkey as shown on the picture. And fyi we are huge Turkey lovers AND have years of experience in Roasters or oven cooking Turkeys. Sorry. We took ours back for a full refund. Until I find a heavy metal lid....I wont purchase a Roaster. The only upside is this Roaster, like all of them frees up the oven space for holiday cooking. As much as I hate to admit, I would rather cook all my food the day before and heat everything up in the Mirco wave. Giving my Turkey all time it needs to brown on top. Give it a try if you want, but I was encourage a run thru before the big day.

if you can fit the bird in the roaster, you can cook it.... I cooked a 19 pounder last Thanksgiving, with the lid on, with no problem

No, it's not big enough for a Turkey. It holds poultry up to 8 pounds (as mentioned in the item description.)

This roaster is Big...although the length & width are the same as my biggest roasting pan, it's much deeper, so I can say that a 20-23 lb Turkey will fit nicely in the 18 qt. roaster.

This will not handle a full sized ham or roast. You will need to cut it into pieces smaller than 9" wide first.

My opinion is a definite yes. I have used mine to cook an 8 lb pork shoulder, a 6 lb whole roasting chicken, LOTS of chili, veggie soup, etc. with both the pork shouDer and roasting chicken, I still had plenty of room left in the pot to allow for veggies and "flipping" room.A very roomy pan that I truly love--so glad I purchased it

Fully covered no bigger than about 20lbs. When using the shallow roaster, I've cooked a 26lb turkey on a rack.

It is large enough to cook a large turkey and a ham at the same time. It has racks galore. The interior cooking area is 15" wide by 20" long with a 12" depth. I am very happy with mine and use it all the time.

I have never cooked a turkey breast in mine, but I have cooked roasts and I believe a small turkey breast will fit in it just fine. Merry Christmas!

Yes you can bake/roast a small turkey or chicken. The meat is tender and juicy. The T-FAL has worked well for me and my family. Enjoy.

I only roast/smoke chickens using this roaster. It is to small for a turkey.

I'm assuming you mean a 7.5lb turkey breast. I would say yes, but it will need to cook on high for 12 hours.

Yes, but you would need a pan to catch the drippings. It holds a 18# turkey with out a problem. Although it has a non stick surface, I have found that a slight mist of Pam makes the first clean up a bit easier. I have used mine to hold 6 full slabs of ribs, a couple of giant boston butts, large pork picnic and like I said an 18# turkey. All on my grill but I make an aluminum pan out of heavy duty foil but I smoke all of my meat on my Napoleon gas grill. I cooked my turkey in under 3 hours. Much easier than inside at thanksgiving when oven space is a premium. The nicest part is no matter how you use it. The two large handles make it easy to move around.

LOTS! I can get a very large turkey in, no problem. How many quarts? Never measured but it would be at least perhaps 3 gallons ? Just a guess. Its a large roaster.

Yes, as long as it is not too tall of a roast. Check the items dimensions so you know what you are getting.
