is this plucker big and strong enough to use with a turkey?

We haven't tried a turkey yet, but its built very sturdy, and the inside is about like a washing machine tub... it should be able to handle a small to average size turkey, but I don't think I would put a large turkey in there.

Yes, I think this plucker would be fine. I put 2 roosters in at the same time. Make sure it's on level ground. It'll shake! But it gets the feathers off!

Yes it is. We have used it for approximately 15 pound turkey, but I think it would be fine for a larger size turkey as well.

I can't be sure but I think this will hold that size of turkey. I have been so very pleased with my roaster. All the others have surfaces that get damaged with time of cooking in them. This has been a great addition to my kitchen. I do all kinds of roasts in mine.

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.

That's the one I purchased, and have used it on both very large turkeys and small chickens. It has worked well on both.

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

Yes,I just used them last weekend to lift an 15 lb turkey without a problem... they are very solid.. I have also been able to use them to lift a very tender 18 lb brisket off the smoker, if you have any idea what kind of challenge that is...

I have used this pan to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving for the last 3 years. Each year, I've cooked a large bird in it but this year was the biggest at 21lbs. It fit just fine; there was a about a finger thick space between the handle and the bird once it was in the pan and while cooking, the drippings all remained in the pan.

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

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.

I would say no. It could possibly hold a 6 to 8 pound turkey breast, but not a full turkey. Just not enough space.

Yes, it would be fine. Do keep in mind that it is not terribly big, so if you are using a large turkey platter, this fork might look flimsy beside it. If you have sliced meat on a dinner-plate-size plate, it would be just right.

I have only used this rack for beef and pork roasts..I have not used it to cook a whole turkey or turkey parts such as the breasts..it appears to be large enough to support a (double) turkey breast as it comes in the store when purchased..hope this helps

I think it would be too small (meaning the Turkey would hang over on top and bottom) but the rack is not flimsy, I have used it many times and am really happy with it. With that said though I do believe it is too small for this specific task.

Chickens-absolutely. I believe they could also lift a small turkey. The surface area including the prongs measures 8.5cm x 12cm (3 1/3 inches x 4 3/4 inches).

Likely much too big. Try a turkey master. Works well on tanks up to 10 gallons.

It's very sturdy so can take all sizes of bird. I've used it on an extra large chicken with no problems. As others here have said, the overall issue with this is the height of the chicken in the oven !

Well, these poultry scissors are heavy duty and are a good quality. I have no problem spatchcocking chicken or divining a chicken into pieces. However, I have never used them on turkey. I think that they are sufficient to do the job, but wouldn't want to break them.
