Turkey breast joint or turkey crown?

Sunshine_and_Roses

I am looking at buying one or the other for Christmas lunch, to feed four people. Are any supermarkets doing any offers?

thanks

Try your local butchers for a deal, you might be surprised at the price. We always get ours through the same place each year and it's always cheaper than the equivalent in the supermarkets and *usually* from a local farm too.

I'd also recommend trying a breast joint too. It doesn't look quite as nice, but at the end of the day it's much better value as there is little or no waste and great for slicing up for buffets etc. The one we got last year was £13 and if I remember correctly, about 3KG which was plenty to feed 5 with left overs. I've already ordered ours for this year and been told they should be cheaper - last year for some reason the prices shot up.

I would also like to know if the Aldi ones are fresh or frozen?,oh and what weight are the £8.99 ones?

Thanks all. I got a frozen turkey crown from Aldi for £8.99. I think the weight was about 2.3kg. Most were around the 2kg mark, but you have to choose the biggest, even if you do nearly end up inside the freezer!!!

Go to Lidl they are selling frozen turkeys for just over £8 which will easily feed 4 people with lots left over for rolls on Boxing Day.Use whats left to make a delicious soup with lots of veg, very cheap again from Lidl.
