Default Turkey: How much meat?
What percentage of a turkey is meat? I was able to find a very small (8 lb) turkey for just the two of us. It got me to thinking about how much meat I will actually have. Normally when you buy a turkey the neck organs and giblets are packaged inside. I assume that this contributes the weight as do the bones.

Does anyone have any idea roughly what percentage weight wise you will actually end up eating?
