Well I feel 3/4 is a good medium. I always go with a one pound each. My men can, and do go up to a lb between dinner and picking. But my ladies and kids are lucky to hit a half pound. Weight concous, this usually give me enough for lunch sandwiches but not so much to have to have it ten days. You know you can freeze cooked turkey and have it a month later with stove top dressing and gravy.

I usually figure 1 lb per guest, so I'd go with a 12-13 pound bird...have to take in to concideration the waste and bones. Happy Thanksgiving!

8 oz per person but you always want some leftovers so err on getting more instead of less. Breast dries easily so I would rub in olive oil and bake skin up. I have been successful at poking with a fork and poaching in chicken broth to re- introduce moisture.

General rule of thumb is half a pound per person (usually means some leftovers, too).
