My guest list swelled
I now have 14 people coming instead of 8, and I already got a 11 lb turkey. Should I buy another turkey (if I can find another small one), or just get a turkey roulade from Trader Joe’s? I’m ok with not much leftovers, but it’ll be embarrassing to not have enough food.

Some ideas here: You'll want to figure about 1 1/2 lbs of turkey per person at the generous end, making your 11-pounder work great for 8 folks. If you can find another small-ish turkey, that will help supplement the extra 6. You could also try the turkey roulade from Trader Joe's (sounds yum!) and fill out the table with additional sides. Here are some of our tried-and-true favorites, plus a few new classics: https://food52.com/blog/23373-best-thanksgiving-side-dish-recipes
Hope this helps!
Maybe even another kind of meat, or poultry.
Offer everyone at least some piece turkey and/or the second roast beast.
