Where is your turkey from, and what giblets did you get?

We have a Tesco one this year (bit of a messed up Christmas with relatives in hospitals in different, so it's the biggest nearest supermarket!).

We have a liver and heart, but no neck. Is that normal? I was surprised!

Neck is often stuffed down the other end, not in the bag in Sainsbury's ones. Have a root round inside 😆

the neck is usually in the other end of a turkey we are having beef this year so no fooling around with turkey derrieres for me this year

No turkey, but I got a lovely goose from my local butcher. I’ve got neck, gizzard, wing tips, heart, liver and kidneys.

Turkey crown from Marks.

Thank you, I'll go and have a root later.

We're all trying not to think of Terry the Turkey, who we've been waving to every time we passed the farm! DM's best friend will have him though, so he'll still fulfil his Christmas destiny. Xmas Grin

Spent £50 on an organic bronze from m&s (mainly because I'd left it too late to order anything cheaper) and it has no fucking giblets. Just a neck. No little bag of squishy bits. I was mildly outraged first thing but am over it now.

It's a duck not a turkey - it's from a farm shop. We have heart, liver, neck and some sort of unidentifiable organ, possibly a gizzard.

Turkey from the butcher. Neck, heart, liver and gizzard. All quickly roasted and used to make stock yesterday to use in the gravy today. Have to make loads of gravy, my lot see it as a food group in its own right...
