what size of turkeys can you roast in a disposable roasing pan when cooking 2 turkeys?

I don't know, but suggest you call the Butterball Turkey Hotline at 1-800-BUTTERBALL.

Edited to correct hotline, not hitline.

Thanks ,I thought of that but, thought that maybe someone has already done it.

@JuJu in NC : Our turkeys are normally about 13 pounds and the large pan we use fits one.

In my opionin, if doing two turkeys would be small or doing two small turkey breast. One year , I tried the small turkey roast  and didn't like it.

Hope that someone can help you.

@JuJu in NC You can't answer that without knowing what your oven size is, what the size of two turkeys is, and I can't think of any disposable pan that would safely hold 2 turkeys.  How would you get that in and out of an oven safely?

I'd seriously think about doing one the Ina Garten roast ahead one day method.  You can google that.

If the turkey's are small, make sure you double up on the Aluminum Roasting Pan & use the largest. For instance a large 20 pounder is safer to double up the Pan. Sometimes, the weight of the turkey can cause the one pan to have  a split & cause spills in the oven.

PLEASE>>>>> double up the alum pans!!!  And then I would seriously consider a good roasting pan with a rack in it---

I always put a cookie sheet under the aluminum pan. Those pans aren't the sturdiest.

@Kabella : I always double the pans. I always double my 9x 13 pans that I use for  dressing and sweet potato casserole.

IMO you need a heavy solid dedicated roasting pan to hold the heat and evenly roast the turkeys.  IMO a foil pan isn't going to do that.  I made two turkeys this year, roasting each on consecutive days.
