    20 pound turkey for 50 people....question...

    Maybe 30 adults, rest kiddees. Not doing another turkey.

    How much pork butt do I supplement this with???

    15-20lbs minimum

    You'll be lucky to yield 10lbs off that bird right?

      Jerod Broussard, Jon Solberg is correct! 3/8 - 1/2 lb per person min knowing they are going to come hungry! Perhaps Turkey, Butt and Ham for a Smorgasbord Menu! Sounds Great what Time? Eat well and Prosper! 👍👍🐷🦃👍. Dan

      So at least 15 pounds of pork butt to cook along with that turkey, maybe a small ham to boot?? Jon Solberg

        You'll get more servings out of that bird if you bone in and roll it ahead of time.

          Too much work pre-cook.

        Deep fry the turkey, smoke a ham, grill hot dogs for the kids. Everybody else brings sides and desserts. BYOB. Pretty much the standard menu for the last 10 years on New Years Day around here.

        Question is how many people will have some turkey instead of the butt.
