Hello, I am planning a dinner for 100 ppl. It will be for teenagers + approx. 15 adults. The tentative menu will be:
turkey breast - bone in I am doing this as a volunteer and would be very grateful if you would help with any amounts. I can give a small donation for your help. Thank you! |

turkey breast - bone in- 2 pounds per 5 spiral ham, bone in, 1 pound per 4
mac n cheese, 10 pounds mac, 1 quart sauce per pound, 1;2 to 1 pound cheese per pound. You will save some money and assure the meat stretches if you add 24-28 pounds of some kind of vegetable or vegetable mix.
tea & lemonade- see beverage planning page Good for you, hope this helps, write back if you need to or if you want me to check your estimate. |

Hi Ellen, Thank you for your reply! I gave a small donation - I wish I could give more, but since this is all volunteer effort my funds are very limited. :) I have a question regarding reheating the food. I am going to be traveling 1.5 hours to the destination and setting up in a gymnasium. I have limited access to a kitchen (there is one, but we may not be able to access it). Was wondering if you have any suggestions regarding holding the turkey. I have access to chafing dishes, sternos, three large 18 qt. roasting pans, but no cambros. Any advice for safe food handling in my situation? Thank you! |

See the potato/taco bar page for info on how to preheat ice chests and use for hot transport. The main thing is, preheat, then have the food HOT when it goes in. |
