This Breville oven may not look like your standard roaster, but it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for a multitalented countertop oven.

There’s room to cook a 14-pound turkey or fit a 9 x 13-inch pan, 12-cup muffin trays or nine slices of bread. It also includes four mesh trays to slide in or out. In addition to its impressive 13 cooking functions, it boasts smart connectivity, accessible through the LCD display.

If you’re looking for a new way to roast your turkey this year, NutriChef’s countertop oven offers a vertical rotating rotisserie for more even, 360-degree cooking. It’s a lot less expensive than the Breville but includes more features than just baking or roasting like broil and rotisserie. Beyond cooking turkeys, it includes multiple skewer racks for making kebabs, as well as a bake pan and grill racks. The temperature goes up to 464 degrees, and the timer can be set for up to an hour.

If you have a tiny kitchen without a proper oven, this toaster oven is a great countertop alternative, complete with easy-to-open doors and a fairly compact design (though don't worry, it can still fit up to a 20-pound turkey). It has an automatic shutoff feature that prevents overcooking, so if it's your first time hosting the holiday, that's one less thing you'll have to stress about.
