About 8-10 lbs is good for two people with leftovers and soup to come; 10-12 is good for 3-5 ppl. if you don't want lots of leftovers. I have cooked a 19-lb turkey for what was supposed to be six people (ended up four with appetites) and we had leftovers for a looooong time plus two batches of soup (because the carcass was too big to fit into the soup pot in one piece and got frozen and hacked apart.)
