[quote=Anonymous]So, it is usually only DH, me and our preschooler… this year we will have 2 other couples and a teenager girl.

I am not experienced on Thanksgiving dinners and usually just roast a turkey breast and pick up sides at WF for our small family. This year I want to do it mostly at home and only picking up the pies… I did buy the starters kit at W&S though (green beans casserole starter kit, stuffing and gravy).

I am not American originally and not a big fan of the whole thanksgiving meal combination so I usually keep it simple with turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans casserole, stuffing and brussels sprout (and gravy). That seems traditional enough and yet those are things I like to eat (as opposed to sweet potatoes casserole with marshmallows…).

So, how big should the bird be? We will have lots of appetizers and the holiday for us will be more about cooking together, drinking, eating the appetizers, enjoying the fireplace and just hanging out. By the time dinner is ready, I am guessing we won't be REALLY hungry…

And I don't want to have tons of turkey left over.[/quote]
