Find out if he likes white meat, dark meat, or a little of both.  If he's a dark meat person (or a little of both) get a small whole turkey.  Yes, you'll have leftovers galore, but package some in plastic bags &amp; put it in the freezer for another time.  If he only like white meat then just do a breast.  One bit of info:  if you do a whole turkey the white meat will be more moist than if you do just breast.  As for the details of how to get it done, go to either the Butterball or Honeysuckle White website.  Either one will be quite helpful.  And, remember that turkey sandwiches make from those leftovers are pretty darn good the next day.  Or, here's a way to cheat a little.  Most supermarkets sell already prepared turkey dinners (the whole thing including dessert) that you just pick up &amp; reheat.  Call some &amp; see what they offer.  Clean up, which is the worst part of T'giving dinner, is much simpler with a supermarket meal as it comes in disposable containers.
