Lori, Two 12 to 16 pound turkeys would be perfect for this size group, plus you will have twice as many legs, and two this size will fit in a large oven at the same time. In addition, the meat on this size is juicier and has better texture than the regular "Big Birds".

ellen
11/18/07 		Yes eight turkeys is about right. See the vegetable table at the end of plan for 100 for help on the veggies. This is a nice selection of vegetables, I might use frozen green beans instead of canned. See also the planning and shopping for large community meals article in the holiday cooking section at the top of big pots.
