[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whole Foods recommends 2 lbs per person if you don't want leftovers 1.5 lbs per person should do it.[/quote] renember these are raw weights vote birds release moisture during cooking. 1.5-2 pounds per adult. 1-1.5 pound per child is my normal formula. Pro ends on how many heavy eaters vs how much I want in leftovers I am aiming for. If you are buying a bigger bird (15+ pounds; figure 1 1/2 pounds for each person minimum). Smaller birds -- 15 pounds or less -- typically have have a smaller meat-to-bone ratio, so allow 2 pounds per person minimum. [/quote]
