Not everyone in your group is a turkey fanatic. You’ve got the cousin who only eats white meat, the uncle who swears by dark meat, and that one friend who brings a “vegetarian option” that looks like a science experiment. Don’t obsess over the bird’s exact weight. Instead, round up by a couple of pounds to ensure there’s enough of both. If you end up with extra dark meat, guess what? That’s the best part. Shred it into tacos the next day, and you’ll look like a genius.
