I always get about a 22 lb. bird, sometimes we have guests, sometimes we don't, the size of the bird never changes. I cooked one by myself a few weeks ago, I didn't realize that it would lose so much of its juice or I wouldn't have put so much water in the pan and it overflowed the roaster and my home filled with smoke. It was an awful mess but the bird looked lovely.
