This roaster comes with a rack to elevate your meats from the grease that collect in the bottom of the pan, as well as a pair of stainless steel turkey lifters. Cooks up to a 20-pound turkey.

Not sure how big of a turkey to get for your family or guests? Butterball has a calculator on their website which lets you enter the number of guests (including children) and whether or not you want to have leftovers.

For example, I entered 3 adults and two children, plus leftovers. The result = 6 lbs.
