  • How big a bird to buy: If you want ample leftovers, figure on about 1 1/2 pounds per person. Otherwise, plan for a pound per person.

  • Handy guide: Unsure how long to roast that 25-pound bird? Or how big a bird you'll need to serve the 10 hungry people coming to your home for dinner? Use this handy calculator from Butterball that you can personalize with your own info to figure out how big a bird to buy and how long to thaw and cook it.
