We are having 12 people, but 3 are children so we went with an 18lb turkey. I hope it's big enough!!

Usually I get the biggest I can find!
Love leftovers and we usually have a lot of people over.
This year no bird eating out!

21 pounder for 14 people...we went with the biggest we could find this year because we never have leftovers!

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!

We bought a 14 pounder for 7 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!

@Mrs. Lovejoy: I have always read a pound per person, and that has left us with a ton of left overs. I think you will be good;)

@mrsmenow: thank you for the reassurance!! She made me panic and think I'd be depriving everyone. I think we'll be good!

We have a 13.5lb turkey for 3 of us. 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!
