How big a turkey will it fit?

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.

In my opinion no larger than a 10lb. turkey. It is a great pan. I love it.I use it for roasting everything from meat sauce to chicken.

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

I don't know because I didn't use the item. There was a hole and scratches on the inside of the roaster. So, I returned it. Sorry I couldn't help.

I did a 23 lb. turkey. I would think it might take a 25 lb turkey but it may overlap the sides. You could wrap any overlapping extremities in foil or place the pan on foil so any drippings would not go on oven floor. Take a tape measure to store when you purchase your bird. Exact measure of pan is 12"x 16" x 3". Tie him nice and tight or roast him upside down (which keeps the breast nice and moist).

Hi Melody,I own two of these machines and gave one to two sisters and one to a son.I totally love it!!!For Thanksgiving I put a 6 1/2 lb. whole chicken on it and it turned out beautifully.I also do turkey breast with the bone in.I like doing them better then the whole turkey because you don't have to skewer it so much.Anyway back to your question about how big of a turkey this model takes.I agree with R. Fletcher when they said 12-15 lbs.Maybe a little smaller would be better.Hope this helps you out.Sandy G.

There was nothing included with the unit stating how large of a bird it will hold and we actually haven't used ours yet. It is about 9.5" tall with a 7" wide base and seems sturdy, so I don't see why it wouldn't hold a larger turkey.

Not sure, but I wasn't impressed when I made the turkey. It has a rack that made it very difficult to get the bird out. You would think the handles would of been long enough to pull it out. It fits exactly a 22 lb turkey and the rack was of no use. Was not too happy that I bought this for my son. I would think it would handle any degree - we had 350 and it was fine.

Wide enough for 2 chickens or a large turkey. I really love it and use it often. 16.5" x 12.5"

I don't use mine for that, but it would have to be a smaller turkey...this item is more tall than wide...I bought it for the height for my lasagna, because I make very thick lasagnas....LOL

Hello, The largest turkey I would recommend for this kit would be rouhly 17-19lbs. The motor is capable of much more, but due to the size of the spit rods diameter, you will get deflection that will cause the animal to "flop around" if you go beyond this size. From a balancing standpoint turkeys are fantastic because the weight of the body is fairly consitent on all sides, so it should spin nicely and not have too many peaks and valleys of power necessity. Thank You, Brian

I really don't believe that it's big enough for a turkey that big. I've baked a whole chicken at about 3lb. and that was just right for this size pan.

I would not use it for a turkey; rack not big enough to support a large one. I still have the cardboard that came wrapped around the rack and right on it it says "Heavy duty with wide handles for safe and easy lifting." I would just lift straight up because if you should tip the rack to one side or the other just a bit, the way it locks into adjustable place will collapse and you could drop the meat.

I brined a 7lb turkey breast in my 8 qt container recently. But it wouldn't have held any more than that. A large turkey would take something more like a small plastic tub or tall bucket might work as long as it is food safe.

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.

I dont know. Its probably not big enough for a turkey. It works good on chicken though.

It was a gift so I don't have it to measure but it's quite large--I think it's supposed to hold a 12 to16 lb. turkey. We use it for ears of corn also and it holds more then a dozen years.

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.

If it's perfectly round, like a Weber, it should fit just fine. :) I really love mine- we'll never, ever smoke-roast a turkey AGAIN without one!

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