Recipe: Turkey to serve 100 for a Wedding Reception

Holidays, Celebrations
Hello! Here is some info for you to check out:

National Turkey Federation:
"Purchase at least one pound of uncooked turkey per person when buying a whole turkey. You'll have enough for the feast and for leftovers, too."

Butterball Turkey:
Typing 50 adults into their "perfect portion calculators" results in 51 lbs. Here is the link to the calculator: http://www.butterball.com/tips-how-tos/tips/calculators-and-conversions

Honeysuckle White Turkey:
"The general rule of thumb is to plan on at least one pound (uncooked) per person; however, we suggest buying 2 pounds or more. That may sound excessive, but everyone loves turkey. This way, you're assured of generous second helpings all around, plus enough left over for savory second-day dishes."
According to their turkey buying guide:
One (20-24 lb.) turkey serves 11-13 people.

And, in case you didn't see them, you'll find some general "amount to serve" charts and tips here:
