Pick a Turkey

Let’s talk turkey. Wondering how many pounds of turkey per person you’ll need? Figure that you’ll want about 1 pound to 1½ pounds of meat per guest. If you’re only cooking for 2 or 3 people, consider a turkey breast rather than a whole bird.

If you’re asking yourself “how long does my turkey need to cook?” you’re in the right place. We’ve put together the Ultimate Turkey Chart to answer all your cooking questions, such as “how long does my turkey need to defrost?” and “What temperature should I cook the turkey?” Bookmark or print this chart to see at a glance how large of a bird you’ll need, how long it’ll take to thaw and more.
