[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Honeybaked ham website lists the ham-and-full-turkey combo [b]as serving 16-20 people, and that's only with the listed 11-13 pound turkey included.[/b] The Williams Sonoma website lists a pre-brined turkey breast as serving 8-10, a 6-8 pound breast.

The suggestion for a 16-18 pound turkey, a full Honeybaked ham, and a turkey breast WILL feed 28 people, if some of those people are kids.

Y'all are the type who think that EVERY guest will eat the MAXIMUM suggested portion of everything. This is not the case. I happen to know that me, my sister, my MIL and my BIL don't even like turkey; we literally will eat a small piece or two to participate in Thanksgiving. Most people are there for the sides. You take a little turkey, you take a little ham, you go all in on the sides, you save room for pie. That's how it works for most people.

I am willing to bet that there'd still be plenty of that damn ham leftover; those things are huge. [/quote]

We cook a 20 lb turkey for 15 people.  Big eaters.... even the kids.
