Can't find extra extra large frozen turkey for Easter

The only such turkey showing on My Supermarket is listed for Morrisons at the excellent price of £26. It also shows on their own site. Unfortunately I can't find any stock in Norfolk or Suffolk and stores do not know if any are being sent to them. I have phoned all the stores.
We have 25 family for Easter lunch and always have turkey, so does anyone connected with Morrisons know if they will be sent soon? Does anyone know if other supermarkets will get stock in? Fresh turkeys are not usually big enough and cost a fortune, so any leads for a frozen one would be appreciated.

    Will an extra extra large fit in your oven?

    Why not buy 2 or 3or 4 smaller ones?

    I hope having 25 for lunch all works out for you ok, sounds like a major headache to me, all that washing up, plates / glasses etc have you got enough chairs and such like

    We have a large family of children, spouses and grandchildren. We host that many every Christmas and Easter and always have turkey as well as gammon. The double oven is fine together with 2 or 3 slow cookers for other items.
    No-one seems to have big frozen turkeys in this year so far and it is getting close to the big dinner...

    Two or three smaller ones side by side perhaps?

    Or some lovely free range chucks instead.

    Once people are fed with luvverly grub it will be fine. Do not stress!

    Success!! Having been told yesterday that Morrisons at Norwich did not have any frozen turkeys in yet, we went there for other items today. Lo and behold they did now have some and we settled for the biggest they had at 9kg-ish. A bird in the freezer is worth two in the bush.

    Blimey... I wouldn't be so worried about the turkey. But all those vegetables for 25! How many roast potatoes? Makes me weak at the knees just thinking about it.
