I cooked a 16 lb turkey in it recently and there was still room in it for a bigger bird. This is a very sturdy well built pan.

I just got mine yesterday -- haven't used it yet, but the box says "holds up to an 18 lb. turkey". I bought a 17 pound turkey for Thanksgiving and I put the frozen bird in the rack just to test and it fits -- but I wouldn't go any bigger. Amazon says "25 lb", but I would rely on what it says on the Calphalon box -- which is 18 pounds.

You have to take the top pivoting rack out, but yes it will fit a large turkey. I smoked one for Christmas this year, about 20 pounds and it fit fine.

I doubt it. I have used it for as much as a 7 pound chicken with no problems, but I don't think that it would be big enough for a turkey.

I don't know as I ahve not cooked a turkey in it. It looks like a 20-23 lb turkey would work. I suggewst that you contact the Hamilton Beach customer service to get a accurate figure.

It depends on how tall a turkey rather than how big. Nesco says a 22 lb turkey. I fit one that was a little bigger--I think it was 23 lbs and stuffed, but it was not tall, just wide. The lid barely closed, but the turkey was so good that my sister-in-law, who usually does thanksgiving, asked me to bring it so she could use it this year.

I am not sure if I could help you because I had never used this for a turkey too. However I think that a turkey not too large will fit.

Definitely large enough for a 15lb turkey, although you may want a v-shaped rack to hold the bird.

I have not used it yet, but I had another brand the same size, and I have made a 24 lb turkey in it. So you should have no problem with a 20 lb turkey.

Yes It is huge I don't think a 22 pound turkey will fit but a 12 pounder will. I checked out a 10 pound ham that was in the frezzer and I had a lot of room to spare so maybe a 22 pound turkey would fit but not turn so well. The inside is larger than the outside. You can look at Sears. to see the inside of it. I still can't believe it myself. I love it and you will too.

Get the 18 inch one. It would be very hard to fit a turkey in the small one. It is smaller than you would think.

It's pretty big but we've never tried cooking a 24lb turkey in it. We've only cooked a pretty good size chicken, among other types of meat, in it and it worked absolutely great. Easy to clean, lightweight, and cooks a mean meal. Just looking at it, I think a 24lb turkey would barely fit so I would go somewhere under that weight. For that large of a turkey I would recommend a Nesco cooker. We used that every year to baste and roast a mighty fine turnkey. But you can do the same with Emeril Roaster, too. Happy Thanksgiving.

This roaster is probably too big for what you usually cook. If available, I would go down in size. This one is good for a medium sized turkey or for a large roast (or really large chicken).

If you spatchcock (split) the turkey (search it online) you can easily smoke the Turkey. I did a 22 lb Turkey and it works great. I put the water pan below and put the rack on the tray directly and not on the shelf. By splitting it along the backbone and laying it flat like that you should have plenty of space for a Turkey of almost any size. While I smoked it I cooked the rest of the stuffing and such below in the pizza chamber. https://www.youtube.com/user/EcoQue

we haven't done a turkey yet but the book says 12 to 15 lbs. That seems big and there wouldn't be much room.

It's only equipped to hold a 16lb turkey. If you go over 16lbs, I wouldn't do anything over 18lbs. because it may not cook properly.

I think 40 lbs is about the limit. We did av17 lb turkey for Thankgiving and it worked great
