Best place to get a turkey?

fatblackandwhite

Hi, I normally get my turkey from M and S - order it around now to pick up later. (Pay £20 deposit). However this year I want to order it and pay for it now and have it delivered nearer the time rather than keeping the money to one side and then having to go and get it and drag it back on the bus.

Where is the best place to order from? I have never bought one from anywhere other than M and S and want a fresh one not a frozen one. (Storage reasons).

Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved. Thank you.

try going to your local butchers. they usually deliver and will get it to you the night before.

i get a frozen one in morrisons usually. but this year, as we're just a family of 3, and i dont eat meat, so only 2 will be eating, im just getting
a turkey crown to freeze. much cheaper, less work too!

I go for a frozen turkey crown, i have one in the freezer from last year still:D. I get my turkey crown from Aldi and it's lovely and feeds my family of four and 2 guests and leaves plenty for sandwiches etc all for approx £8. I think they are selling them in aldi at the moment

I have to confess I hadnt thought about the butcher! although to be honest I don't know where there is one

Thank you - will open my eyes a bit more!
