How Much Turkey Should I Buy?
Great question! We love leftover Turkey, so we always go big! But this will vary a lot depending on how big of eaters you have, how much you’re serving with the meal, etc. The National Turkey Federation gives this guidance:
For the guest who’s always reaching for seconds (or if you want to count on tasty leftovers), opting for 1.25-1.5 pounds per person is a safe bet.
