Turkey sizing and guest estimates for Christmas meals
The article estimates that a 15-pound turkey serves about 20 guests while a 10-pound bird serves about 13. It notes many families plan for five to six at the table, suggesting smaller birds may still be in demand. It advises choosing a bird of at least ten pounds dressed for better flavor.
