So, what size is your turkey.
We have 3, the largest one is 15 lbs.

The other two are 10 and 11 lbs.

The smallest two will be fried, the biggest one smoked and then finished in the oven.

2. We got
a 20 lb bird...it was the biggest one I could find this year (I usually get one that's closer to 25 lbs), so we got a breast, too. I think that's about 8 lbs.

6. Gave mine away to a needy family our school adopted for the holiday
Son is taking us all out to Harris Ranch http://www.harrisranch.com/index2.php

It's about 25 minutes from us. Big brunch T-Day...about 15 of us all together.

Meanwhile, I think the turkey I had was about 12 lbs.
Am sure it will be enjoyed

8. We have a 12 pounder for five people - I have no clue whether that's too much,
too little, or just right. However, I figure the angry words, accusations, and wine glasses will start flying long before the main course, so no one will really notice the turkey... :)

9. Y'all aren't messing around. We have one 14 pounder, but we
also will have a pork tenderloin and a Boston butt. Our turkey will be fried, and I have no idea about how the other meats will be cooked. Smoked and grilled I am guessing.

I wonder if two turkeys will be enough, never are never any left overs.
