I think a 30 pound turkey will do you.

22 lbs should be perfect
A great recipe for the leftovers!:
Turkey Tetrazzini
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8 ounces thin spaghetti, cooked, rinsed, and drained
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, divided
2 to 3 cups diced cooked turkey
1 tablespoon butter
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
1/4 chopped cup onion (optional)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup dry sherry
salt and pepper, to taste
PREPARATION:
Combine spaghetti with 1 cup Cheddar cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese. Add turkey and pimientos. In a skillet, melt butter and sauté mushrooms and onions just until tender; add to the turkey mixture along with remaining ingredients.
Gently stir to combine ingredients; place in a greased casserole and sprinkle with remaining cheeses. Cover with lid or foil and bake at 350° for about 45 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
Serves 6 to 8.
(It's better without the onion IMO)
A DEFINITE CROWD PLEASER!
