How much meat do you get off a turkey?

It's impossible to give you an exact number for how much meat you get off a turkey because it depends on several factors:

* Size of the turkey: A 10-pound turkey will have significantly less meat than a 20-pound turkey.

* Breed: Different turkey breeds have varying meat-to-bone ratios.

* Age: Older turkeys tend to have more meat.

* How it's butchered: Different methods of butchering (e.g., leaving the wings on or off) affect the final yield.

However, here are some general guidelines:

* A standard 12-16 pound turkey will yield about 6-8 pounds of meat.

* Larger turkeys (20 pounds or more) can yield upwards of 10-12 pounds of meat.

It's always a good idea to check the packaging of your turkey for an estimated yield. This information can help you determine how much turkey you need to purchase for your desired number of servings.
