Here's how we were able to fit the turkey in the oven: Fortunately, in this oven you are able to put the rack down just above the bottom coils. The rack bowed down from the weight of the turkey which enabled us to barely pry the legs into an opening in the coils on top of the oven. Pretty funny, huh? We were hoping to not have to cut the legs off to get it in and it worked! After it cooked for a while the legs shrank down just enough to pull it out of the oven to baste without touching the coils. The men took turns getting it out of the oven because it was so heavy. It was a lot of fun and after Thanksgiving everyone we or family members talked to wanted to know how cooking the turkey went. :-)
Yes, we have eaten a LOT of leftover turkey (even though 13 people ate here for Thanksgiving dinner) including turkey sandwiches (my favorite!), turkey dinner leftovers, turkey casserole, and turkey soup, AND we sent turkey home with family members AND we put some in the freezer for sandwiches later. It's been a tremendous blessing.
