How Big is Your ...
turkey? Ours weighs in at just under 14 pounds. I have NO clue if that's a good size for two people. Carol -- "Years ago my mother used to say to me...

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. http://tinyurl.com/59vl4 http://butterball.com ---= BOYCOTT FRANCE (belgium) GERMANY--SPAIN =--- ---= Move UNITED NATIONS To Paris =--- ********* "Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation."

A 15 lb. turkey fed 8 adults and one child using only one side of the bird. Everyone seemed satisfied and and never had to cut into the second side of bird. I think the rule of thumb for serving a crowd turkey is about 1/2 pound per person. |

A fourteen pound bird will feed 10 to 16 people depending on how large
their stomach is. |
