Bought just the breast this year. It was fresh, which was a must since I bought it Tuesday. I am wasn’t paying $50 for a whole fresh turkey.
7# for 5 people. Limited amount of leftovers which was also a plus.

16 lbs for nine people, a couple of which won't eat any turkey or only a very tiny portion.
Our dinner is on Sat though.

We ended up at my sister's house. I think there were around 30 people. Two turkeys, at least 15 pounds each. There was an insane amount of desserts though.  |

We had a 10# bird for the 2 of us but most of it will go in the freezer for meals during the week. I’m used to us making 15# plus birds and it looked like an over-sized chicken coming out of the oven.

We have 19.5 pds. for 7 people. My inlaws came for dinner and we sent them home with some leftovers. We have 3 teen/college age daughters, so it doesn't take long for all that food to be gone! I wanted to get a 22 pd. turkey, but I was afraid it wouldn't defrost in time, so I got the smaller one.

22 lbs was supposed to feed 12, then 2 more showed up and DS2 took a huge pan of leftovers to 2 friends who were alone with a pizza. We have enough leftovers for everyone to enjoy some today, but that's it.
