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.

I can relate!
