How Much Turkey for Christmas Guests

A rule of thumb suggests three fourths to a pound of dressed turkey per guest. With dressing, a 15 pound turkey feeds about 20, a 10 pound bird serves 13. Smaller birds may be in demand for small families, but at least ten pounds is recommended for better flavor and leftovers.

Robinson advises on choosing a turkey by freshness and fat. He says a fat, young bird with smooth skin yields better flavor and avoids dry, tasteless meat. Prefer a fat breast and thigh for juiciness and rich taste.
