Has anyone cooked a small turkey using this size

A small chicken yes, a turkey, I seriously doubt it. It isn't that big a pot. You might be able to do a ten pound turkey by cutting it into parts to make it fit.

I operate a catering business and I have cooked a 24 pound turkey in these size cookers. I do use a cooking bag and I make sure that the bag does not touch the sides of the cooked. I cook it at 350 degrees.

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.

I haven't taken it out of the box yet but did read it would cook a 12 lb turkey.

It is very easy to use, and works great so far, i use it a lot for baking, toast and broil, it will not fit a large turkey breast, though. I didn't expect it to be so big, takes up a lot of room, but i can't think of anything I don't like about it

I thought it would be too small, going from a 5 or 6 quart, but it's been pretty easy to make most of what I like. I cook for one person, but always keep leftovers. Still, I would have preferred 4 quarts instead. But it doesn't take up much counter space-looks cute, and it works for most recipes. I had to modify one Chili recipe, due to it being too small. So, not at all too big for one person. I had something smaller when I started, but I couldn't imagine going smaller than this now.I've had this one for a year and half. Had to get it replaced just recently. The electronics went out and cracks formed around the readout. 3yr warranty, replaced the old one no problem.

I have never cooked a 12lb turkey in mine but it states that you can. That's only because I never buy anything less than a 20lb. Just remember to keep the food at least 4 inches below the top.

I'm pretty sure I did a 22lb turkey last year, and there was plenty of room. The turkey turned out fantastic!

Definitely would be good information to have. The 32 Quart cooker claims that it can cook up to 25 lb turkeys, but I wonder how much smaller this one is.

I have never cooked a turkey in this but assume the direction that came with the rotisserie is sufficient enough for the turkey to turn out perfectly. I have never had anything I have cooked in it fail. It is all good. However, it would need to be a small turkey not over ten lbs. Carolyn Durr

I've cooked roasts in my old one (same size) with no problem. The turkey breast should be fine. I find that I like roasts cooked in the Nesco better than the oven, especially when I cook them on low heat. Turkey should be very good in the Nesco as juices are retained. Enjoy!

My full size cookie sheet will not fit. I've done chickens easily so a small turkey might work. I love this oven though for most everyday cooking needs.

Yes, I used my for my Thanksgiving turkey in the Oven. It worked quite well.

I cooked a 23 lb turkey, roaster lid did not seal completely because of the height of the bird and top of bird stuck a bit to the roaster lid (use non stick foil to solve this problem) but it cooked great.

I've cooked several turkeys in my Ronco. 12 to 14 lbs fits great. Takes a 2 1/2 to 3 hrs., about 15 min per lb. The outside is always crisp and the inside always moist.moist. I don't wait for Thanksgiving, I cook turkeys whenever I 'm expecting a few extra guests.

we have done an 8 lb prime rib in this set it and forget it but don't think we can go much bigger. Our older one was bigger. It looks like the 6000 series will cook a 23 lb turkey
