Depending on whether you want a lot of leftovers or a TON of leftovers.
To calculate the exact number, you need to figure out how many people you’re serving and how much turkey you need per person. After all, if you’re hosting Thanksgiving, it’s your mission to send everyone home as full of delicious food as possible.The general rule of thumb is 1–1½ pounds turkey per person.
That might seem like a lot of bird, but remember: Beyond the bones, the mass of your whole bird also accounts for cartilage and less favorable cuts of meat around the shoulders, neck, and back that are better for If that sounds teeny tiny compared to your guest list, Amiel and Jessie recommend serving a different meat or protein . “I like to do steak or,” says Jessie, “which are also very festive and are a lot easier to prepare than a whole turkey.” Having a second meat on the table not only provides a backup if your bird is on the scrawny side, but it also makes your turkey stretch further . Aim for 1–1½ total pounds of protein here and you’ll have nothing to worry about.
From there, you can turn bone-in dark meat and whatever’s left of the bird’s skeleton into homemade stock, which can be portioned out and frozen, and will bring way more flavor to soups, sauces, and braises than the boxed stuff.
