Iceland turkey breast joint

katies_mum

Hi
Been looking at the turkey breast joints in Iceland today, they come in their own tray and you can cook them from frozen or defrosted. Its £15 for 2.5kg (no bones !!) Has anyone tried one of these? I would normally buy a turkey crown but we are having problems with our fan oven so am having to rely on the small bottom oven which is not fan assisted.. and won`t take anything large. Seem very good - but what do they taste like (as long as they don`t look or taste like the Bernard Matthews turkey roll I`m sure it will be ok)

Any advice would be great.

Yes we bought one last year and we thought it was really good quality and very tasty.No having to get up at stupid o clock to put a huge bird in the oven it cooked very well all our guests commented on how nice it was too.I am going to get another this year.

Thanks so much for replying, I imagined a large BM turkey roll in the box (even though has a nice picture on the front). did you both cook from frozen? I saw both options just wondered which is best? I like the idea as well thats its all turkey and no waste.

Thanks for the pointer on this. I've been debating with myself as to whether we have turkey or not this year because none of us much like any other bit but the breast meat, plus I've limited oven space. This sounds just the job.

I cooked mine from frozen and it was fine.It is nothing like a roll to look at its either I am sure last year they did a smaller version too if anyone is needing a smaller one.

we normally have chicken instead of turkey and found that tesco do a lovely chicken breast in a foil tray, feeds 4 to 5 it says on the box...tastes fantastic! and as said before no bones! lol

I have also tried these and also love them the ham/gammon they do is also very nice. I use these every year for my christmas party and do a meat platter with them it goes a long way.

We bought this last year and made a special shop at Iceland this year to buy another. We cook it from frozen - really nice.

This might sound a bit thick - but are they proper turkey and do they taste like proper turkey? I just keep imagining turkey roll when its sliced (doesn`t look like proper slices of turkey and doesn`t taste like it, if you know what I mean). Thanks again for all your help
