Depends on how many leftovers you want. That's a good size for two
people to eat turkey for a week or so.
The one I roasted two weeks ago (the Cub BOGO) was 13# . It fed four
adults and a twerp, provided about four generous slices of white meat
for a couple sandwiches , pickings for turkey salad sandwich spread, and
half the breast which was cut into four chunks and frozen. One of those
chunks has since be transformed into more turkey salad spread. I love
it on toasted bread for lunch -- or on a cracker as a snack.

Turkey Salad Spread
Leftover turkey - maybe a 6-oz chunk, or about 2 cups worth chunks or
bits
Celery - maybe one stalk, cut into about 1-1/2" pieces
Onion - maybe half a medium size onion, cut in small chunks (not minced
or diced)
Seasonings to taste
Mayo to moisten and bind

Place turkey, celery, and onion in food processor bowl and pulse-chop
until it's all combined and chopped medium-fine. You can chop it to a
faretheewell if you like, knowing that when you add the mayo to bind it,
it will be rather smooth. I've come to not chop it quite that much; its
more like a salad mixture rather than a paste. When I chop it as I do
(a medium-fine chop), the finished product could still be served on a
lettuce leaf with a peach half on the side and be considered "a nice
lunch" for the next door neighbor, as well as making a sandwich filling
with a little texture to it. Your call.
