A 20-pound turkey is roughly the size of a full-grown beagle. Or a small, very sleepy toddler. It’s a bird that barely fits in your oven. If you’re not careful, it’ll bulge against the glass door like a feathered sumo wrestler.
Think of a supermarket rotisserie chicken. That’s about three pounds. Your turkey is almost seven of those strapped together. You could feed an army—or a really hungry Thanksgiving table.
