If you’re ordering a fresh turkey for Thanksgiving – you’ll probably be doing that soon. So how big should it be? That depends on the amount of leftovers you’d like. What’s Cooking America has a guide for us:
• 1 pound of raw turkey per person should leave you with a moderate amount of leftovers.
• 1 ½ pound per person is recommended if you want ample leftovers, or have hearty eaters – and still want leftovers.
If you’re buying a frozen turkey – add a full day of defrosting time for every 5 pounds. That should be done in the fridge – NOT at room temperature where bacteria breeds.
