Determining the right size of a turkey is crucial to ensure that it’s cooked perfectly on Thanksgiving. A common rule of thumb is to allow about 1 pound of turkey per person, but this can vary based on how much meat and skin each person prefers.
Another factor to consider is the cooking time. Generally, a turkey needs about 13-15 minutes of cooking time per pound for an unstuffed turkey. For stuffed turkeys, this can increase by about 50%.
