3kg turkey crown - how many people?

teacherandmum

I've just ordered a 3kg turkey crown from asda (£15 if you're interested!!!). I've looked on the british turkey website and it says a 3kg whole turkey would feed 6-7 people. would that be the same for the same size crown?
I've 5 adults and a child coming for dinner

Taken from the Food Standards Agency website -

"If you're having a whole turkey, as a rough guide, you’ll need about 450g (1lb) per person. So, if you're cooking for six people you'll want about a 3 to 4 kg turkey, this should be enough for a good-sized lunch and some leftovers for Boxing Day. If you're going for a turkey crown you'll want a little less"


So your Turkey Crown will be more than enough for dinner and leftovers

I order a 5kg Turkey Crown from my butcher and it feeds 7 for Christmas Dinner, 5 for Boxing Day meat and pickles, and enough left for 2 curries
