FRIENDSGIVING TURKEY MATH
IF YOU'RE HOSTING FRIENDSGIVING THIS YEAR, HERE'S HOW TO MAKE SURE YOU BUY ENOUGH TURKEY WITHOUT GOING OVERBOARD. THE RULE IS SIMPLE: PLAN ON ONE POUND OF WHOLE TURKEY PER PERSON.
GOT TEN PEOPLE COMING? GET A TEN-POUND BIRD. WANT LEFTOVERS? BUMP THAT UP TO A POUND AND A HALF PER PERSON.
AND HERE'S THE PART PEOPLE FORGET: IF YOUR TURKEY IS FROZEN, IT NEEDS ABOUT ONE DAY IN THE FRIDGE FOR EVERY FOUR TO FIVE POUNDS. SO A 20-POUND TURKEY COULD TAKE FIVE DAYS TO THAW! THAT'S YOUR FRIENDSGIVING LIFE HACK!
ABOUT 30 SECONDS. Easy math, a practical takeaway, and that thawing reminder is the real lifesaver.
