Choosing the Size

As a general rule, a regular sized turkey will feed one person per pound of meat. For a small turkey this will be 1 1/2 pounds per person. When calculating size remember to include enough meat for delicious turkey leftovers.

Turkey – small = 14+ pounds, medium = 18+ pounds, large = 20+ pounds

Capons – small = 7+ pounds, medium = 9 pounds, large = 10+ pounds

Herma’s Signature Product Suggestion

Margaret finds some of our Signature Products to be a lovely treat when warmed in the microwave for about 20 seconds. This is especially so for the Bacon Cheddar Spread. Just simply place warm spread on a cracker. Delicious and oh so easy. Yum!

We wish you all the best as you prepare for the holidays. Have a wonderful weekend!

Be well and stay safe.
