We did a really big one, at least 21 lbs. But to honest, this thing is horrible. It cooks unevenly and takes forever. Save your money.

I usually cook a 20 Lb., turkey in it. I wouldn't recommend going much over that because you want to allow enough room for the infra-red heat to evenly bake the turkey. If you plan to purchase a frozen turkey, allow it to thaw naturally in the fridge as recommended on the label. Be sure to hook up to a fully charged propane tank. This is the fourth year using it at Thanksgiving. I've also used it at Christmas, Easter and other times. Perfect color. Perfect doneness. Moist and juicy. Even the stuffing is better. It's just great. The bonus is not having a hot kitchen for hours while doing other things. I usually cook a 20 Lb., turkey in it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Im not sure but I cooked 2 - 7 lb breast in it and there was all kind of room left in it. It has a big cookwell. It does a wonderful job on cooking the turkey. Very moist and tender

The largest I've ever done is 15lbs. I must tell you, we have cooked turkey in the oven since getting the "set it and forget it" and we always go back to the set it and forget it. It REALLY is the best.

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.

LOTS! I can get a very large turkey in, no problem. How many quarts? Never measured but it would be at least perhaps 3 gallons ? Just a guess. Its a large roaster.

You can cook a larger turkey in the larger model, and that's the only difference. It works great, and we love it!

18lbs is the limit with this fryer but you are better off frying too small turkeys if you need that much turkey.

I have never cooked a turkey breast in mine, but I have cooked roasts and I believe a small turkey breast will fit in it just fine. Merry Christmas!

HI, first of all it would of course depend on the size of the bird . The inside of the oven measures (6.3" H,and 12.2" D and 12" W ) Maybe you could use a small bird, like an 8 pound turkey. You really MUST PLAN AHEAD when you are unsure about ovens, I wish you good luck with your culenery arts.12"

Shawn, you should have no problem with this rack. According to the Big Green Egg website, your cooking surface is 18.25" in diameter which is more than sufficient for this rib rack. That same website notes you can cook a 20 lb turkey in your BGE. If a 20 lb bird will fit, then this modest sized rack should do just fine. Slainte!

17Lx12wx5.5H. My 23 lb. turkey fit in there just fine. First time I used the rack & loved it. Will use again. Clean up was so easy !!! ( even with carmelized essence. Will never use a Teflon roaster again. Loretta

I cooked a 26 pound turkey and it was tight. I don't think it will hold a 45lb. turkey and personally I would cook 2 smaller turkeys because they taste much better.

I have a 6 quart. A 12 lb. turkey is too big I would suggest a 20 qt roaster.
