Do Asda sell fresh turkeys?

[nappyaddict]

Looking on the website I can only seem to find frozen ones.

Surely they must? Not sure what the quality will be tho. Or indeed the availabilty...

but Tescos do and they had some in yesterday.

Yes they do. I bought one yesterday. They had several types - bronze, standard, crowns, stuffed & rolled joints etc.

Why would the quality be suspect?

What's the difference in taste between bronze and standard? Is one better than the other?

Sorry chippy I just meant they might not sell a good-size free-range bronze one which is the only one I would want to eat.

I am happy to stand corrected tho!

What's so good about the bronze ones as opposed to normal?

Bronze is just a better breed AFAIK - better flavour than a white one, better distribution of fat so moister meat etc.

I'm far from an expert tho as I always buy a chicken at Christmas, but I am lucky enough to be able to get it from a local organic/free range farm supplier.

I got a free range bronze turkey for 5.99 a kg at Lidl in the end.

Cool, that's a good price I reckon.

(How big is it? My chicken is a MONSTER!, rather unexpectedly!)

About 5.5kg

Just reporting back that my asda turkey was well received - cooked it a la delia in foil and it was moist and tasted of turkey! Did use waitrose stuffing though

Glad it was good!

We have a lot of chicken left here as ours was a 6.5kg monster...

Was yummy tho and piping hot even after resting (in foil and tea towels) for 3/4hr.
