Hiw many eggs under broody turkey hen?

Silly question, but I actually cant find the answer myself.
How many turkey eggs can I put under broody turkey hen? She is bourbon red.
Would 24 be too much? 20?

Most of my hens sit on 8 to 12 eggs. I did have one that went broody on a nest of 24 but she clearly couldn't cover all of them properly. I wouldn't put more than 16 under a Bourbon Red sized hen.
