Turkey Calculator & What to do with Leftovers!

Have you ever wondered how to figure out how long to thaw your turkey? How big a turkey you need for the number of people you’re feeding. How long to cook it, temperature, stuffed or unstuffed. What to do with leftovers?

If you’re looking for an amazing TURKEY CALCULATOR CLICK HERE. This will give you everything you need to know about thawing, cooking, and what size turkey you need for the number of people you’re feeding. I have been using this site for many years and find it’s the most accurate.

I also love the ‘pop up’ turkey gadget that you can buy at specialty shops like Bed, Bath & Beyond that you push into your turkey, and it pops up when the turkey is done. Foolproof turkey!!

I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t really shop for how many people I’m cooking for when looking for a turkey, I try and buy the largest turkey I can find.

Although my family loves turkey, they love their turkey leftovers, and turkey soup is a big favourite in our house. Both turkey rice and turkey noodle are fought over by my adult kids and who’s taking what home. It’s from recipes handed down from my mom, so they are family favourites.
