[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a reasonable-sized turkey (18 pounds) and pinch-hit with a full Honeybaked ham. Very few people eat the "plan for a pound of turkey per guest" proportion, especially with kids around. Most people would take a bit of turkey and a bit of ham as their meat serving, then would dig into the sides.

Supplement with a pre-cooked turkey breast if you're worried/want a bit of leftover turkey. [/quote]

Op absolutely will need more than one turkey even with a large ham. We will be reading about you in the post thanksgiving day gripes if you don't provide adequate protein. [/quote]

Oh please. An 18-20 pound turkey, a full Honeybaked ham and (as suggested) a supplemental turkey breast is fine for 28 people. OP didn't say if there were kids in that count, but there probably are. [/quote]
DP. I don't think it is.[/quote]

NP who has cooked for a crowd this size many times, and I do think it is enough: 18 pound turkey or so, Honeybaked ham (they feed up to 40 people, depending on size, for crying out loud), turkey breast...throw in a container of drumsticks if you like, but you don't have to. [/quote]
