I am usually not snide when asking questions but why ask that question to a bunch of vegetarians?? It's disgusting to me that you're buying a Turkey let alone asking how many the poor bird will feed! Look What you do is your own business but please don't bring it somewhere where the thought of it is disgusting!!!

-.-
I love how you put this under 'vegetarian & vegan'.

I don't know the answer to your question.

Gosh, about 25 people or so.

Have a great one!

easily 10! I highly doubt 25 unless you're feeeding pygmies!

It can feed about 15 people or more

about 15 to 20 people! I think!

I'm not even sure you can train a turkey to feed people...but why?

I think the general rule is a pound per person. So that should feed about 15 - 20 people, depending on how much people eat.

With bone and waste considered, it will feed approx. 10-12 people depending on their appetites......not anymore unless small children are involved......

about 10 people easily and you will still have leftovers

Rule of thumb is one pound raw turkey for each person. So a 20 lb turkey will feed 20 people with no leftovers. if you want leftovers then a 30 lb turkey is sufficient.

I have heard to plan to buy at least 1 lb for every person.

We usually have a twenty pound turkey on Thanksgiving. You have to realize too the pound of the bird is with the bones also not just the meat.

We usually have about 8-10 people, with some leftover (not much).

I found it better to get the fresh turkey breast (at least two) and we slow cook them on our outside smoker. They are so juicy and tender I would not cook them any other way. And, you do not have the mess of the rest of the bird carcass to clean up afterward.

Alot. :-)

It's fairly rude to put this question under this category.

I don't know! This is the Vegetarian and vegan site! General food answerers will be able to advise you further!

not as many as 20 lbs of veggies would.

Depends if it's dead or not .............
