What would you consider to be a medium turkey? The large pan is only a 13 x 9 x 2, your typical cake pan size

Might be a little tight but I think it would work. I fixed a ham in mine that weighed 9 lbs.

I would say no. Medium turkey to me is 12-15#s. Largest pan with sides is an 11x13 cake pan. You would want a true roasting pan. That said, I've had this set for 7 months and the non stick coating is peeling off.

The large baking pan is 8" x 13" so probably would fit a large chicken - about 6 lbs. or a large turkey breast. Hope this helps.

I haven't done a full turkey, but it would cook a very large turkey....It has a 20" round grate (from side to side), and a clearance above of about 12 -14 inches....

It may depend on what size the entire chicken is - otherwise, my suggestion is to cut a whole chicken into pieces to fit into the pan! Good luck!

Everyone has a different method of cooking a turkey. I am of the school of thought that believes if the outside of the bird is pretty and golden brown, the meat will be dry. After I put the turkey in the pan, I add a little water to the pan, enough to come up 1/4"-1/2" from the bottom of the pan. This keeps the bird moist and gives you lots of broth for gravy. I also put the lid on and bake it covered. Again, it keeps the meat moist. The skin won't be all pretty and picture perfect, but the meat will be juicy and taste wonderful. The reason why I bought this pan was because it's big enough to fit 2 small 12-13 pound turkeys in it (smaller birds don't dry out as much as big birds) and it has a lid.

That would be 6.8", otherwise it would be a REALLY big pan. Merry Christmas!

I am not near the roaster, but know that it was used several times and is wonderful. It is sturdy enough for large turkeys and cleans up easily. I had another one that was Teflon and this one is 10 times better. I plan on ordering another one for a gift.

I just measured mine to be sure and it's 16x13 inches. I haven't done a turkey yet but I did a 7 rib Prime Rib and it worked just fine. I think a bird that large would fit.

I measured a 19-pound turkey at approx. 13 x 10 x 7.5 inches. a 16.5-pound turkey came in at 13 x 9 x 8. My pans are approx. 15.7 x 11.7 inches (inside) so this will fit larger turkeys.

I would buy the pan again. I just warn that you must not use heat higher than medium or you will burn your food. This pan conducts heat very well and I am pleased with it.

Just used mine for the first time. So, hope this answer is not too late. I cooked a 14 pound turkey in my 14 inch Calphalon roaster and it was a perfect fit. Would not go much bigger.

this pot is large enough to roast a 15-16 lb. turkey; so, yes it should be large enough for even the largest chicken you can buy. I've roasted 3 smaller chickens at one time in this pot. for only one chicken, i use a smaller version. the 117 i use mainly for turkeys, and it makes great turkeys.

Angela, It depends on your definition of large. Check out the "interior sizes" response under answered questions and measure your bird. I would think that any turkey over 18-20 lbs would be a very tight squeeze.

I roasted a 24 lb. turkey breast with stuffing under the turkey skin last Thanksgiving and it just barely fit. This year I plan on roasting no more than a 20 lb. turkey breast. Although I believe that a 24 lb. turkey will just fit, I would probably go with no more than 22 lbs. Hope this helps. I absolutely love this roasting pan and have bought 5 over than last two years, one for myself and one for each of my 4 children who also love it. It's very easy to clean and does an excellent job of roasting. My husband uses it often for his sausage calabrase. Hope this helps.

Haven't roasted chicken yet, but that's why I bought it. I called all clad, but they couldn't give me an answer about the thickness of the pan. I took it out, it's just as heavy bottomed as my other huge all clad roaster, so I'll jet you know! It's a good size for a single chicken or a turkey breast, it a 3-4 standing rib. The only thing different is the handles come out from the pan, not up. Let me know your result!

If a catering pan is the size of a sheet cake pan, then no. It really is the size if a large pizza box.

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 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.
