What size turkey do I need?
Plan for 1¼ pounds of per person when buying a
whole turkey. If that seems like a lot, it's
because it contains bones and such.
Size-up if you like leftovers.
  • 5 lb turkey serves 4
  • 8-10 lb turkey serves 6-8
  • 13-15 lb turkey serves 10-12
  • 16-24 lb turkey serves 16-24
  • 25-30 lb turkey serves 20-24
How long does a frozen turkey take to thaw?
To thaw a turkey safely, we're talking days, not
hours. So clear a space in the back of your
refrigerator and plan for:
  • 1 day of thawing per 4 lbs of turkey
  • 2 days for an 8 lb turkey
  • 3 days for a 12 lb turkey
  • 4 days for a 16 lb turkey
  • 5+ days for a 20+ lb turkey
What's the roasting time for a turkey?
Exact times depend on whether your turkey is stuffed or unstuffed and on your oven's true temp. In a 325° oven expect to roast yours for: 
  • 2 - 2¾ hours for a 6-7 lb turkey
  • 2½ - 3½ hours for a 7-10 lb turkey
  • 3 - 4½ hours for a 10-18 lb turkey
  • 3½ - 5 hours for  a 18-22 lb turkey
  • 4 - 5½ hours for a 22-24 lb turkey
  • 4½ - 6¼ hours for a 24-30 lb turkey
