I have a 22 pounder defrosting in the fridge for 5 people on Thanksgiving.

We de-bone the leftovers, pack them in quart-size freezer ziplocks, and freeze them for up to 3 months (Butterball rules).

Take out a ziplock, defrost overnight in the fridge, and you have a meal or a sandwich ready to be made...

Oh, hey, about the size thing: we are in a very rural area (a forest really). We see Wild Eastern turkeys roaming through our yard all the time when the weather is cool (they roost in the pine and oak trees). All females, but I've seen some with chicks.

One time I saw a Tom. Jeez! That guy was huge. My guess would be 40 - 50 pounds. I didn't want to run into him without a big stick or something...
