Hi,

What weight per person should I buy when on the bone? There will be three of us with big appetites. Will be served with usual Christmas trimmings.

Thanks

    Hi Bongedone,

    I'm envious...my lot want turkey and more turkey! :D

    If you're buying it with the bone in I would plan for at least 1lb per person. If as you say everyone has big appetites I would go for at least 4lb. Better that there are leftovers rather than not enough. If in doubt ask your butcher's advice
