Where do you get your Turkey?

We have people coming up for Christmas but it will only be me and my GF eating. My local butcher (meat is amazing there) are doing Turkey Crowns for £16 for four pounds worth. This seems quite expensive but it it the norm for butchers? We usually cit them and freeze for a couple of extra dinners like a curry for example.

I don't want to get one from the Supermarket as the meat is never the same quality IMO.

    We go to a local farm where you can see the turkeys grow up and see how they're raised. Yes it's pricey, but it's once a year and we put £2 coins in a jar to save up for it throughout the year so we don't miss the money.

    I've got 2 4kg ones from Tesco. I can't say there's a difference in taste - only the price.
