Best Christmas turkey ?

[Jamouk]

Have always ordered a Kelly's Bronze direct from them but any other suggestions? Looks like I'm cooking for 12 again

A Kelly bronze turkey from GB geese in croxton kerrial in the vale of Belvoir. Superb flavour and masses of meat.
He also supplies the ginger pig butchers in London. Top quality.

Long way to drive tho no deliveries
And from ginger pig London 10 quid more and I've got to go and get it!

Not for me. Only 5 miles away. Worth the drive. Paul Kelly does the job right as far as I know. The breading is right. Not grown too fast.

I know of another large supplier near us mate that i would avoid like the plague...!

Imo the best Christmas turkey is our home reared rib of beef!

Have bought direct from Kelly's for years. Wouldn't go anywhere else,

Cooked right even a cheep supermarket turkey tastes good. Max 140 degrees, cook slow and they’re always juicy. Mind you I much prefer hand reared goose. Proper Christmas fayre.

A good quality chicken or two. I think turkey is over rated.
My favourite meat at Christmas is a honey roasted ham with plenty of cloves.

Turkeys are too big to cook whole and do a good job. Crown it then bone out, stuff and roll the legs, comes out much better and cooks quicker.

Bootiful.

I used to work at Colchester market (stanfords) and we had three turkey auctions at Christmas, all New York dressed birds. Plenty of ducks geese and fat chickens as well. Worth a look if it still happens, and a watch of the butchers to see what is over or undersupplied that year.

Closer to go to Kelly’s in Danbury possibly?

The only decent thing they produce is fertiliser!

for me the best turkey for Christmas is a roe hind leg or good pork joint.

Jimmy's farm bronze from Costco, but you might have missed the boat. Good luck finding one.

A nice, whole, roast, early-season pheasant will be sitting on my lonely table. Sadly, I'll have to eat it all myself !!!
