With 29 people coming (all ages) I thought we should get two 20 lb birds but the only ones available were less than 14 or over 25 so we went with two 25 lb birds. Spatchcocked dry brined and smoked they turned out perfectly except maybe the wings were a bit overcooked. I pulled the birds at about 157 in the breasts.
My tradition is to take the leftover meat on Sunday (today) and make a couple turkey pot pies. My secret is to use a LOT of turkey and a little bit of vegetables.
Not enough leftovers to even consider doing this. I think the rule of thumb should be TWO pounds per person.
Happy Holidays
