I just bought a turkey breast and it fit into one bag with a bit of wiggling on the way in. I meant that I'd have to break down a bird to cook a whole one. I might be able to cook the whole bird in one bag with legs and wings separated from the breast, otherwise I'd just bag them separately. Both bags would fit into the water bath together unless the bird was a monster.
