Or how long does it take to thaw a frozen turkey? Finally is the all important how long do I need to roast my turkey. Here are three guides to follow to help you achieve your perfect Thanksgiving turkey. Turkey Serving Guide When planning your Thanksgiving turkey dinner it can be overwhelming wondering how much to serve per person. You will want to have enough for each person to have at least two servings and enough for turkey leftovers. Up to 12 lbs. = 1 lb. per person Over 12 lbs. = 3/4 lb. per person Bone in breast = 1/2 lb. per person Boneless breast or role = 1/3 lb. per person Turkey Thawing Guide Refrigerator thawing is the recommended method for thawing turkey. It used to be common practice to thaw turkey in the sink with cold water. The problem with this method is that bacteria can grow on the turkey while it is thawing. This is the reason that refrigerator thawing is recommended. 6 to 8 lbs. = 1 to 1 3/4 days 8 to 12 lbs. = 1 to 2 days 12 to 16 lbs. = 2 to 3 days 16 to 20 lbs. = 3 to 4 days Bone and breast = 1 to 2 days Boneless breast roll = 1 1/2 to 2 days
