A spatched 12-14# turkey in a medium egg?

I think that size bird would fit snugly in a medium without being spatched."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

Sounds like a good reason to buy a large.=======================================

If you want to get a good estimate-take a piece of string and run it around the bird. Subtract around an inch+ for the loss of back bone and that's close enough to the spatched width you would work with. FWIW-
Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
Is it in yet?

When I had a medium, I did a 10 or 12 lb turkey without spatchcocking. It was a tight fit. You might have to tuck the legs.

A 14# will fit not spatched.
