Enter how many adults and kids you are feeding. You get the amount of each dish to prepare and a rough shopping quantity. Free, no sign-up, nothing is stored.
| Dish | Per adult |
|---|---|
| Turkey (bone-in, whole) | 1 to 1.5 lb (450–680 g) |
| Stuffing | about ¾ cup |
| Mashed potatoes | about ⅓ lb raw potatoes (150 g), roughly ¾ cup mashed |
| Gravy | about ⅓ cup |
| Cranberry sauce | about 2 tablespoons |
| Green beans or other vegetable | about ¼ lb (115 g) |
| Dinner rolls | 1 to 2 |
| Pie | 1 slice (an 9-inch pie serves 8) |
These are common planning guidelines, not strict rules; appetites and side dishes vary. Children are counted at about half an adult portion. If you serve many sides, you can lower the turkey amount. Food safety: refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
