Spatchcocking Turkey?

Hi all,
I usually hang out in kitchens and appliances.
This is a cross post from kitchens.

I recently read about this technique and have been testing it with chickens.
It seems to work great with chickens.
I want to try it with my turkey but am concerned it will be too big for the oven once it is butterflied.
The turkey is 13.3 lbs and was alive yesterday morning. We picked it up at the turkey farm last night.

I have a Wolf oven and recently picked up a 3/4 sheet pan. I plan to line it with heavy duty foil. I have a cooling rack that might work, so I can put the carrots, celery and onions under the rack.

I plan to put perforated parchment paper on top of the rack and put stuffing on top of the paper to get some "inny" stuffing.

Has anyone tried using this technique?
How large was your turkey?
How large is your oven?
What size pan did you use?
How long did it take to cook?

Any pearls of wisdom appreciated

Thanks
