Last minute fresh Turkey

13 replies

Is there any such thing? or any turkey from the looks of it.

I was unable to get turkey for online delivery. They said, turkey will only be available from this week, except they had no slots this week and then you had to go in store. Was volunteering this week, and every time I went, there was nothing - I mean no meat at all (even beef, lamb etc). I went out early around 6am this morning to the nearby supermarkets, but no joy.

Fortunately, I did order that Morrison xmas box, but they do not have a full turkey - just a stuffed joint and I did buy two turkey legs last week and froze them. So not too bad for us, but I did fancy a nice full turkey traditional style, and I would then donate what I have. Not too interested in just a crown either.

Was wondering if anyone is still missing turkey, and maybe here on MN we could let ppl know where to go buy if they are still stuck at this last minute.

For me, I'm in central London and the only place that I saw turkey were the frozen super large ones at Sainsbury's Pimlico - but good luck with defrosting that in time for xmas.

My local coop had plenty. I guess other supermarkets would as well. There were so many left last year i got 2 fresh crowns for £11 in Tesco and froze them, so gonna pop down at tea time in the way to see dad.

Was that today @christmasbell ? It must have been a big Tesco. Was it superstore?

It was last night and it was a Tesco Extra

Aldi near me had lots in yesterday

Mummy195 · 24/12/2020 12:46

Did not think of co-op @MrsDThomas.

Figured they tend to be small and would not store around here. My local Tesco did not have anything. Now, you guys are getting my hopes up high, so I will pop down to a local Asda superstore and see if there is anything.

Good luck on your turkey hunting OP

Mummy195 · 24/12/2020 12:48

Hahaha, leaving now, there is an Aldi nearby the Asda, so if I cannot find it there, will pop in to Aldi too.

Thanks, update you later.

Our village pub is advertising them - we've just gone from Tier 2 to Tier 4 on Boxing Day so presumably they now have an excess, about 1.5 hours north of London though and currently Tier 2 so no use but maybe check with pubs if all else fails.
