The rule of thumb is 1/2 pound per serving. So 15 pounds should feed 30 people according to the books. BUT, this is based on a SERVING and a real human being's idea of a serving and a cookbook's idea of a serving is almost always different. If you're planning on feeding children, 30 is a good number, but if you're planning for adults, I would cut that number to 20 to allow for second helpings. I think it depends on what you are putting it in? I cook for a living and I would base your amounts on 3 people per lb.

Well, honey, it's simple math. If each adult eats about 2 turkey wings, then you'd need 30 turkey wings to feed 15 adults. But let's be real, who stops at just 2 wings? Better grab a few extra to avoid a Thanksgiving throwdown over the last piece of poultry.

How many turkeys would feed 150 people?

What size bird should I buy?It depends on how many people you will be serving, and how big a bird your oven can hold. A larger turkey is more efficient at producing meat. For instance, turkeys weighing less than 12 pounds will serve 1 person for each pound of weight. A 10-pound bird will serve 10 people. But a turkey weighing more than 12 pounds will feed 1 guest for each 3/4 pound of turkey weight. So, if you're having 20 guests, you'll only need a 15-pound bird.
