It's so much, but turkey is one of my favorite meats, so we'll have soup and pot pie and stuff made from it. We're frying it this year too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-turkey-do-you-get#post-409915 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 18:39:32 +0000 HabesBabe 409915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 lb for 5 people.

My mom freaked out and made me feel like it wasn't enough though (it's our first year hosting). She said she would have bought a 20 lb bird if it were her. But that seems like so much to me.. I don't know.. hopefully our 14 lbs satisfies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-turkey-do-you-get#post-409591 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 15:11:25 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 409591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually get something around 16 pounds for 6 people. Not overkill, but enough for some leftovers. My husband loves turkey leftovers, whereas I could care less for turkey. Works out I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-turkey-do-you-get#post-409576 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:56:44 +0000 littlecasita1122 409576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>21 pounder for 14 people...we went with the biggest we could find this year because we never have leftovers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-turkey-do-you-get#post-409404 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 13:00:57 +0000 chopsuey 409404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually I get the biggest I can find!<br /> Love leftovers and we usually have a lot of people over.<br /> This year no bird :( eating out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-size-turkey-do-you-get#post-409401 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 12:59:59 +0000 bushelandapeck 409401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are having 12 people, but 3 are children so we went with an 18lb turkey.
