How many pounds of shredded turkey for 200 people?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It really depends on how you plan on serving it.

Most restaurants use either a 4 or 5 ounce portion on their sandwiches and or salads. So in that case you would need 62.5 pounds for 5 ounce or 50 pounds for 4 ounce.

If you plan on serving it like carved turkey, plan on 6 - 7 ounces per person. So in that case, you'll need about 82 pounds of turkey.

This is cooked, cleaned, and deboned weight.

What are the instructions for appleton glazed ham?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Remove ham from oven 1/2 hour before end of cooking time. Empty contents of the Honey & Spice packet into small saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon of warm water. Heat glaze mixture on high, stirring constantly, until glaze begins to boil. Remove immediately from heat. Using a glazing brush, apply glaze immediately by brushing it evenly over the surface of the warm ham. (For a thicker coating, allow glaze to cool 4 to 5 minutes before applying to ham.) If ham was place in cooking bag, carefully cut bag open and pull away from ham, then apply glaze. Bake glazed ham uncovered at 250 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove glazed ham from oven and serve.

How many turkeys would feed 150 people?

User Avatar

Asked by JackieC

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.

How many people will a 15 lb turkey feed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Do you cover stuffing when cooking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is important to cover stuffing (dressing) while cooking it. One of the important ingredients to a good stuffing is water, and therefore, it can dehydrate making for a dry stuffing.

If cooking stuffing, whether in a container by itself or inside a turkey, cover with aluminum foil. Also, if cooking the stuffing inside the turkey, be sure to baste the stuffing exposed while basting the turkey.

At what temperature do you cook a smoked turkey?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Smoked turkey has a flavour very similar to a delicate ham and is preferably served cold. To reheat, place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, lightly cover with foil and bake at 325° F (160° C) for 15 minutes per lb. (30 minutes per kg). Use smoked turkey in place of cooked ham: on a cold meat platter, in casserole dishes, as a sandwich filling or as an hors d'oeuvre.

Why do we eat mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Francois Pierre la Varenne, a famous French chef and author of a very early cookbook in the 17th century, described a pumpkin pie.
It was probably not until 1796 when Amelia Simmons cookbook "American Cookery" was published. It was the first American cookbook written and published in America, and the first cook book that developed recipes for foods native to America. Her pumpkin puddings were later baked in a crust and similar to present day pumpkin pies because of the references to pumpkins (not pies) by the pilgrims of Plymouth. Pumpkin pie was not really pumpkin pie back then. It was known the first settlers complained about the lack of flavor in pumpkin offered by the natives who simply roasted the squash in the ashes of a fire and ate it. To make the gourd more palatable it is likely the pilgrims cut the top off the pumpkin, added milk (when available) honey and spices. They would then simply roast the whole thing beside the fire and scoop out the pulp.
