Still, 12- to 14-pound turkeys remain the biggest holiday seller, Sechler said. That may be because some millennials are “still going to Mom’s,” he said.

(More than likely still LIVING with Mom!)

My Thanksgiving turkey is a little over 15 lbs. I will be smoking it on my Weber kettle grill. No more oven cooked turkeys for us. Smoked turkey is the way to go!

They are not disrupting anything, another BS article about how Millenials are “changing the world” when they really are not. How environmentally sound they are but carry around a device that pollutes more then a dozen turkeys could ever do.

These articles are nothing more then a circle jerk for the lefties who think the younger generation is changing the world for the better because they can’t afford anything lol

How big is too big? We get ours from a local grower, and I want to say we get 20 to 22 pounders, but bigger are available. The 22 pounders come out nice, but I wonder if we should get a 25 or 26 pound one since we always run out of meat by the end of the weekend. I love roast turkey. I don’t know if we should get 2 14s, we’d probably need 2 14s or 15s to match the meat on a 22. So maybe 2 17s, i dont know the meat to bone ratio. My wife is in charge of that so I don’t know if she’d be willing to manage 2 smaller birds. I do the carving(at my wife’s insistence as she’s usually tired) and clean-up. Cooking is hard, a couple glasses of wine and cleanup is not so bad. The dogs are my best friends then too.

Best part of Thanksgiving is the leftover turkey sandwiches. I can get baked turkey year round, but HOMEMADE turkey sandwiches are always better than tasteless deli turkey.

After all of the years I’ve been on this planet, I’m tired of Turkey for every holiday. This year I brought home a ham. We’ll still get served turkey next Thursday at a relatives house, but at least I’ll get what I like on Friday.

Me...I buy the biggest turkey I can find. Usually about 20 to 22 lbs. If it fits in the roaster pan that's good enough for me!

Folks used to send me to the turkey farm to pick up the warm brown paper bag with our freshly plucked & desanguinated bird.

For Thanksgiving, my Son-in-Law cooks a couple of ducks. For Christmas, he cooks a goose.

Allez Cuisine!

Why not a Cornish hen? They’re tiny, too.

...growing guilt over wasteful leftovers...

That's why GOD himself gave us turkey salad sandwiches.

Next year we will be started raising Midget Whites for our own needs but it sounds like there might be a market for them.

Let’s start a list of the things that aren’t “natrual”
1. Wearing clothes 2. Hurtling thru the air@30,000 feet @500 mph. 3. Central cooling, heating. 4. living in houses. 5. Antibiotics...etc.
