Wed Nov 12 07:52:19 -0800 2008 17812 sake 1 4167148 I am doing a 20+ pound turducken for 5 adults and 3 kids., we want alot of leftovers. Wed Nov 12 07:54:09 -0800 2008 4167142 26725 swsidejim 2 4170142 You are going to have an ungodly amount of leftovers. Thu Nov 13 08:05:13 -0800 2008 4167148 206877 jpc8015 3 4170173 Thats all good with me. My guests will get sent home with leftovers, I'll have alot to eat over the next few days(cant have too much cajun duck, turkey, and chicken in my diet), and I support the local cook/restaurant who is preparing the tuducken. win-win-win. If there are still leftovers Ill hook up my drinking buddies(neighbors) with some no one goes hungry, or thirsty when I have a gathering. Thu Nov 13 08:14:59 -0800 2008 4170142 26725 swsidejim 1 4167167 I'd say 10 lbs would be good. you'll have leftovers you can finish Wed Nov 12 07:58:26 -0800 2008 4167142 96253 chocabot 1 4167386 The rule of thumb is that you need 1 pound per person. And if you're doing the whole feast with all the sides, that should be plenty. A 10- to 12-pounder would feed everybody well with ample, but not overwhelming, leftovers. Wed Nov 12 09:04:21 -0800 2008 4167142 58743 alanbarnes 1 4170073 Here's my rule of thumb: For 2-8 people, get a 12-14 pounder. For more people, get two 12-14 pounders. I like leftover turkey. Thu Nov 13 07:38:28 -0800 2008 4167142 13700 ricepad 1 4171325 The rule of thumb is 1 lb. per person, but I'm pretty sure you can't find a 6 lb. turkey..lol! I'd go with a 10-12 lb. whole turkey or a 7-8 lb. breast. Thu Nov 13 13:23:28 -0800 2008 4167142 11196 anni
