One pound?? Goodness, how much do you all eat? Thanksgiving here is a bit larger than average meal with dessert. Maybe some guests.SO according to the "turkey experts" you should figure 1 pound of bird per person evidently NONE of my guests have read that. Started with about a 20 lb bird total left overs 1 thigh and 1/2 of the breast, plus a little bit of "pickings" off the bones.
