How long do I cook this 50 lb Turkey



OK...this is our first year raising our own turkeys...been raising them since spring and ate two at Thanksgiving...one weighted in at 25lbs the other at 15 (different breeds)...one was roasted, the other fried....no problem we thought....we had a tom we were saving for Christmas and figured based upon the size difference between him and the hen we had killed he would weigh in at about 35lbs...well...
Yesterday was kill and clean day and we now have a slight problem...he weighed in at just under 50lbs...I think I can fit him in my oven and can probably squeeze him into a pan but not sure how long to figure on cooking him...the standard 15 mins per pound at 325f or is it a little different with larger birds?...I've never even SEEN a turkey that big...
Anyone ever cook a turkey that big?
Thanks!
Tony
