Bought a frozen turkey from iceland & OH managed to get a fresh one from Tescos reduced from £14.99 to £5 on xmas eve. Cooked the fresh one for dinner & the frozen one for sarnies & tea on boxing day, both were delicious. We did exactly the same last yr only got the fresh crown for £3 then,& hopefully will do the same next yr:D

Our first ever turkey!

4.3 kg organic free range from Graigfarm organics. Probably the best turkey we have ever tasted. I made a simple sage and onion stuffing with their minced pork. Was not cheap but was very worth the money. We had an hm turkey, leek and mushroom pie today and I made a soup stock from the carcass.

The bird had a lot of luscious meat on it and I have frozen loads. There was not a blemish on the turkey and it was very obvious that it had been well-handled and had had a good life

Not just any Crhistmas dinner ..................this was Marks & Spencer Christmas dinner..............

Total cost was c£60 for 5 and I had a whale of a time. Turkey crown best I've ever had and bread sauce, red cabbage, stuffing, etc all gorgeous. No stress, good food, non fighting family................. bliss!

It was very moist and all our guests said how wonderful it was

Well I did a Frozen Aldi whole Turkey for £5.99 for New Years day
Cooked it the ITV morning show way ~ did the same last year.

It was realy lovely and juicey. Off to Aldi tomorrow to see if they have any more left.

Got the cheapest French White wine had 'jean' in the Name for the recipe. The gravey was lovely. Knew the kids would not like the wine based Gravy so that had the stock from the Giblets cooked the night before.

Had the carcass simmering away last night for Turkey Soup
