It holds up to a 25 lb bird... but I'm saying you could definitely fit an even bigger bird in there. I put that on a rimmed baking sheet and put it in the fridge (praying it wasn't too heavy and would break my new shelves... it didn't).<BR/><BR/><BR/>Elizabeth, <BR/>you are right... mom borrows Marty's and we actually have a fried one every year in addition to a regualr turkey.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Kiki,<BR/>Yeah we've been frying them at my mom's for several years now too. I will say this turkey was just as moist!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Nutmeg,<BR/>I wish I could ship it... we've got <I>plenty</I><BR/><BR/><BR/>Andrea,<BR/>now I didn't know that either until I started looking at recipes and every freaking recipe called for a 12-15 pound bird... which would have been both cheaper & a lot easier to handle.Mrs Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082932653215907248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-61756445141767745312008-09-14T01:16:00.000-04:002008-09-14T01:16:00.000-04:00I have to ask...

We had a 21 lb bird for the two of us at T-giving last year and while it was an insane amount of turkey, the brining was the key for tastyness.
