You're better off cooking a couple of smaller turkeys. Plus, more legs!

In Aus we auction off the biggest one of the year and the proceeds go to charity. Last year's turkey was about 55kg which is just over 120 pounds.

I'm seeing from multiple sources (though admittedly, none that I consider conclusive) from a quick google search that the heaviest turkey ever recorded was 86 pounds. Now, even though the sources themselves are sketchy, the fact that this 42 pound bird is pretty unique in itself makes me think that your alleged 120 pound turkey is either a lie, or not a turkey.

Ill try to get the info for you. But if you've done the search I may have been misinformed about the weight....I didn't mean to lie about it : /

haha I didn't mean to be so brutal about it. Maybe it was 55 pounds?

So after some extensive (15 minutes) reasearch, I can safely say I was wrong. I learnt alot about turkey hunting though so thats a plus....
