    We pick ours up from the co-op direct from the farmer, and are suppose to get a 24-30 pound so not sure till I pick up. I always get the biggest, then make broth, soup, subs, turkey enchiladas, turkey pot pie and anything else that I can with what is left.

    I usually get a 20# turkey and then a 5 # breast roast to give us more white meat.

    This year most of what I got was 13 lbs. that way I know it will fit in the rotisserie. It will feed 4 for dinner plus sandwiches, plus soup, plus stock.

    I haven't bought a turkey yet. I'll probably pick up a ten lb. one--there will only be 4 of us.

    My son and his friends helped me get some things out of the car, and as they were walking out the door (my son last) I said, there are 2 cases of water in the back and a turkey in the front, and look, one just came out the door.. His friends found it funny, but he didn't..


    Turkey ~ 20 1/2lbs. for 3

    It's the 3 of us this year so I bought each of us a cornish game hen. (Diva's idea, she said we could feel like giants with our own tiny turkeys)
