They’re over by a factor of 6 which would add up to 21 hours, not 24. I don’t know what they’ve done to get 2.5 million, it should be 417 thousand with those numbers.
Edit: Oh dear. They said each oven could completely cook 6 turkeys in a day so they rounded to that number. At least it no longer reads GW/day. The source
If people didn’t all turn their oven on at the same time but took more of a staggered approach this would supply a lot more people.
No, it’s already wrong even for realistic staggered dinners.
I think they are using an arbitrary GW-day of energy instead of power, so it can’t even come close to making as much turkey as claimed.

Time zones probably help with that!
