Frequently Asked Questions

How much turkey is needed per person for Thanksgiving?

A common guideline is about 1 pound of turkey per adult, with kids counted as half a portion, plus extra if leftovers are wanted.

How much turkey is needed for 8 adults and 2 kids with 30 percent extra for leftovers?

That gathering needs about 11.7 pounds of turkey and about 4.5 bottles of wine.

Why add extra turkey for leftovers?

Thanksgiving leftovers are a popular tradition, so many hosts intentionally buy 20 to 30 percent more turkey than needed just for the meal itself.
