Found their ad and it said 14 to 16 pounds.

That must be before cooking. I would not expect it to loose around 5 or
more pounds during the cooking.


They do inject a lot of water in them but I doubt it is more than a
few ounces. They will lose a lot of moisture cooking if it is not in a
bag and that 14 pounds includes the giblets, neck etc. I thought about
weighing the meat I got off my 12 pound turkey today but we were
already eating it. I usually do bone them out right after dinner tho.
The meat keeps better in the fridge in a zip bag than trying to cover
the whole turkey carcass and it takes up a lot less room.
