Smaller turkeys are common... I usually get an 11-12lb hen (feeds 6-8 easily
with plenty of LOs) but 10 pounders and even smaller are readily available.
There have been times when I'd roast two 12 pounders rather than a 24
pounder... far easier to handle, carve, and serve... reqires less cooking time,
easier to judge doneness, cooks more evenly, and turns out juicier. Smaller
turkeys also contain a larger ratio of meat to bone, and have proportionately
larger breasts... a 34D is more pleasantly proportioned than a 40DD.
