I have a 575 and I did a 12lb with room to spare... I'll bet an 18lber would fit just fineFirst Thanksgiving with a Traeger! What size bird can I do on a Traeger Pro 575? Any recipe recommendations as well?

I wouldn’t think you’d have any trouble with an 18-20 pound birdI have a 575 and I did a 12lb with room to spare... I'll bet an 18lber would fit just fine
Hmmm .... Turkeys available here on the East Coast in Supermarkets, I order a fresh turkey from the butcher. Maybe roast some a whole chicken for practice runs ?I wish I could find a Turkey to try out in my T grill before Thanksgiving. Not much luck so far.
The last gathering I did a 20ish pound bird for a lot more than 10 people, but we also had a lot of other options. This may he a correct method for more or a turkey and two sides meal.My butcher tells me to size the Turkey at 2lbs per person. This allows for skin and bones
I’ve done whole chickens a couple of times now. I’m ready for the turkey. I’ve been to Ralph’s, Vons, Albertsons and Stater Bro. Also Smart & Final. Nothing. I’m sure the birds will show up soon. Probably after Halloween.Hmmm .... Turkeys available here on the East Coast in Supermarkets, I order a fresh turkey from the butcher. Maybe roast some a whole chicken for practice runs ?

Canadian thanksgiving was a couple weeks ago and I did a 16 pounder in my 575 with room to spare…just take out the top rack if you need roomFirst Thanksgiving with a Traeger! What size bird can I do on a Traeger Pro 575? Any recipe recommendations as well?

Stellar!Good morning. I did a Turkey for Canada Day this past July. 15 pound bird, I did some research and found that when cooking poultry your internal temperatures need to go between 40’to140’ Fahrenheit in 4 hours or less. Reduces the risk of botulism. So I figured at 225’ cooking temperature a bird no bigger that 15 lbs. if more meat is needed do 2 birds or more, even sized. Turned out great
directly on the rack, or roasting pan? pan might be cleaner? this is my first rodeo...looking for advice.First Thanksgiving with a Traeger! What size bird can I do on a Traeger Pro 575? Any recipe recommendations as well?
