is to allow three-fourths to a pound

larger allowance
will be the saf

At the above
rates a 15-pound
turke. will feed
approximately 2D people, while a
10 -pound bird will be sufficient for
13 guests. Since many families do

Whether the turkey la chosen

The skin should be smooth and
clean, and the breast and thighs
plump and meaty. The bird should
be reasonably fat, since the (at im
