How Big is Your Turkey?

[ramanth]

How big is your thanksgiving turkey? I was talking with my mom last night and she said she had to go and get the turkey in the sink so it could begin defrosting. I exclaimed, "This early? How big is it?" She said 23 lbs.

To me that's a big turkey. Mmmm leftovers!

I think mine is about 16 pounds, I bought it frozen on friday and I just let it hang out in the fridge to thaw.

My dads got a 22lber! For 4 people, double . lol

If we get a lot of snow though I'll just stay home & cook something little. Some frozen turkey breast that I have which I am sure is 1lb or smaller. lol

Mine's a little shy of 24lbs.

My mom has always used the 'sit the turkey (still wrapped) in a sink of water' method for thawing a turkey. After awhile she puts it in the fridge.

For some reason, the cats have never messed with the turkey when it's in the sink. Such well behaved kitties.

I don't know, I'm not eating it since I'm vegetarian. But my parents bought two since we're having Thanksgiving with my dad's entire side of the family this year. We used to always have Thanksgiving together but the past few years we haven't gotten together. Now, the tradition's back!

Boy, I thought our Tom was big.... my mom picked it up for us: 25 pounds!!!! She said she got it free so she picked out the largest one! Free was free and she was determined to get her "money's worth"! LOL

He's gonna take some time to defrost, don'tcha think?

I just got a little 7+ pound turkey breast for me and hubby. I have no idea how much the turkeys will weigh that we'll be eating on Turkey Day. Considering that we have to rent out a elementary school cafeteria for one side of the family, I'd say there will be a few rather large turkeys at that gathering (no pun intended )

Ours is 20 pounds! I had a coupon for the local grocery store that said if you bought $100 worth of groceries, you would receive a free 10 - 23 pound turkey. Well, I made the mistake of taking Bobcat with me. At first he questioned whether we could come up with $100 worth of groceries to buy. I pointed out that we needed stuffing, veggies, yams, etc. so it shouldn't be a problem. Well, the guy went crazy and started stocking up on can goods "just to make sure" we hit the $100 limit.

Then we went and looked for a turkey. The smallest one left was 20 pounds! Way more than we wanted. Then we went to check out.

How much did our FREE turkey cost? $242.00
Well, at least we're stocked up on can goods.
