Turkey Buying, Thawing & Roasting Tips

Whether it's your first time hosting or you're an old pro, use this handy guide for choosing, thawing, and cooking any size turkey for any size gathering.

Cub has many brands of whole turkeys and turkey breasts to choose from this Thanksgiving. So whether you are cooking for a crowd or just a few, we've got options to suit your needs. From Butterball to Jennie-O and Honeysuckle to Essential Everday, find your perfect bird in-store or online. 

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
