I also did a search for "Blue Star Oven Turkey sizes"

So you have 3 options!

The 2 I listed above and you can also call Bluestar--they should know what size turkey will go in their different ovens.

Maybe Trevor will "Pipe in here'--alto I would have been a little more "delicate" and posted your post as a question,
"How big a turkey can I cook in "xx Blue Star Oven"

That's just a suggestion thou--You post as you see fit, (Everybody can't be as "Delicate and Subtle" as ME!!!

Good luck! (I Hope it all pans out for You)

[i]Manufacturer Description: Attractive highly polished exterior. Anodized aluminum meat rack included. Heavy cast aluminum roaster and cover will not warp. Eclipse premium non-stick interior in roaster and cover. Exclusive high dome with 'dimples' in self-basting cover. Stay-cool polished stainless steel handle on cover riveted for security and are oven safe. High sides make the roaster suitable for braising, stewing and slow cooking with liquids. Brown foods on the rangetop then cover and finish cooking in the oven. Roaster works equally well in the oven or on the rangetop. Interior dimensions: 18' x 12 1/2' x 6 1/2'. [b]Exterior dimensions: 21' x 13' x 11 1/2'. 18 quart / 17 liter capacity. Holds a 25 pound turkey. 50-year limited warranty.[/b][/i]

So I surmise that an oven 12' tall will fit a 25 pound turkey in a roasting pan.

Or, you could go and find a frozen turkey (there's going to be plenty in stores pretty soon), measure it, and scale up or down to whatever size bird you want to fit in the oven.

How to scale up or down? Here is a rather funny webpage that starts off:

[i]Suppose you are responsible for cooking a Thanksgiving turkey. You have a 20-pound turkey, but your cookbook only tells you how long it takes to cook a 10-pound turkey.

How long do you cook your turkey?

Since the 20-pound turkey is twice the size of a 10-pound bird, at first the answer might seem obvious: Simply double the cooking time suggested for a 10-pound turkey. But is that really the right thing to do?

The way I see it, there are three ways to answer this question:

A) You can call and ask your grandmother.
B) You can get a new cookbook.
C) You can thumb through your physics books for the turkey equation.[/i]

And it goes on, but anyway it points out that a 20 lb turkey is only about 20% larger in linear dimensions than a 10 lb turkey.

If I had to fit a bird that big, I'd consider putting my baking stone on the oven floor and putting the roasting pan directly on the stone. That'd give you a couple extra inches. Honestly, I can't imagine cooking a bird that big- I'd rather have two smaller ones (I believe big poultry isn't going to taste as good as smaller poultry).

On the dimensions, I pulled up the AG Wolf's specs, and they claim 18 5/8" height interior. I'm not certain, but I was thinking that they'd gone to sealed burners on the AG. So I presume that the shorter oven in the BS is b/c you get the (kickass!) open burners up top. And the Wolf also is only 17" deep, which means no full-size sheet pans. Anyway, my point is that, if fitting a monster turkey-bird in once a year is the end-all decision making criteria, you might end up buying a different product.

Your original post also has me wondering if you have some sort of a closed roaster that needs to fit regardless of your turkey's size. Is that the case? If so you need to measure not ask here.

If you are talking about a turkey in an open roasting pan then size does matter. But I don't see why anyone is bothering to google turkey size. Assuming people who are interested in this topic are also people who actually cook and are therefore people who go grocery shopping. Measure some birds, don't take someone else's word for it.

p.s. Guadalupe can come across rude but she's also pretty funny. Please don't be too harsh on her!

True.

...and has one of the largest oven capacities for a gas range.

False.

According to Bluestar's specs, the oven dimensions are 26.25"W x 20"D x 15"H, which equates to 7875 cu in or 4.56 cu ft. You don't have to look any further than standard offerings from GE, Frigidaire, etc. to find 5 cu ft gas ovens. Since we know full size sheet pans don't fit in these ovens, clearly Bluestar's are spread out further on a horizontal plane and must therefore be lacking in height, relatively speaking. And "height" is exactly what tharpe is concerned about.
