Thanksgiving Factoid
The Guinness Book of Records notes that the largest weight recorded for a turkey is 86 lbs. The oversized bird was weighed at a "heaviest turkey competition" in London, England in 1989.

I think John tricked us again.
Was the heaviest on record live weight or as John asked in the question?
(largest weight recorded for a completely plucked, gutted, and ready for the oven Turkey.)

The largest recorded turkey was actually a huge male bird that weighed 86 pounds when plucked, cleaned, and ready for the oven. It was called "Tyson" (presumably after the muscular prizefighter) and raised in the UK by Leacroft Turkeys Limited. Tyson won the London heaviest turkey competition in 1989 and then was sold in a charity auction for $7,428. There's no word on his whereabouts today.

I don't think you would hold that turkey by the legs.
