I thought this was going to be about how many turkeys you could cook directly using the reactor heat

my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

Be about 3x that number. Reactors are about 33-40% efficient. So a 1000 MW electric plant is running at 3000 MW thermal. Would be relatively easy too. Just a gigantic steam heated oven. So 7.5 million turkeys, enough to feed 90 million people or about a quarter of the US.
