Is that the three bird thing?

Yes.....it was £9.99 and in the freezer. Going to have it on New Years Day now.

Our turkey was a fresh Norfolk Black from Sainsburys (£32 for 4.5 kg) It was lovely and got some left, but if I do Xmas dinner again next year (hoping someone else will tbh) then I think I might cook something different like a lovely free range chicken.

Can I ask what three birds.

M&S were £100 for a goose one & I think £60 for a turkey one!

Off the top of my head, the one joint consisted of turkey, chicken & duck meat....rolled into 1 joint. I will let you know what its like on New years day!

I got a free range chicken from the butchers. It was large! It cost about £20, which is a lot for just DH, myself and a 3 yr old.

I won't get one again next year as although the breast was gorgeous the rest of the meat and the skin smelt a bit funny to me and tasted the same....

Last year we got the same, but bigger as we were feeding more (about £30 I think) but this years has but me off.

Next year I can only hope that DH, DS and I will be allowed another stress-free day (just us and maybe the IL's but not SIL, BIL and her three spoilt kids!) and then we may just blow some cash on lunch at a very nice restaurant a perfect 20 mins walk away.

we had an Asda's self basted turkey (Cranburry Foods name on bird) and it was the best Turkey i have ever had. Meat was really moist and it had a great taste.
Hope to pick up another Thursday when they reopen - hopefully reduced:j

No. Won't ever buy one again.

We had the one from Iceland that you wrap in foil and cook for 3 hours - took extra last year too but we decided to give it an extra try. It was in for 10 and by 1pm it still looked raw.

our 14 pound free range turkey from farm was very nice, and cooked in 2 and a half hours on bbq.

We had two xmas dinners again this year (one the week before xmas with dad & step mum and another on xmas day with mum and step dad).

For the first xmas dinner i bought a frozen turkey crown, 2.3 kg £6.99 from Aldi and it was lovely, loads of meat. When i went back for another one they didn't have any so...

...for my 2nd xmas dinner (on xmas day) i bought a frozen whole BM turkey, 5.4kg £8.99...it was a nightmare to defrost and it was a bit dry and had about the same meat on as the Aldi turkey crown...i was very dissapointed with it and i shall not be buying one again.

Next year i shall hunt down the Aldi frozen Turkey crowns and buy two.
