Where and when are you getting your Chritmas Turkey?

[shesellsseashells99]

Supermarket? Butchers? Have you pre ordered or are you waiting to pick one up nearer the time?

Was going to go for the local butchers, but they aren’t online and I can’t get through on the phone to order.

Considering just having chicken and ham this year as we’re less people anyway.

We don't have a turkey but I have ordered a leg of lamb from our butchers to pick up on the 23rd

Already bought from the supermarket. A frozen one, we always buy a super huge one so we can freeze a load of it once cooked and eat Turkey until Easter 😂

An online meat delivery company called meat supermarket. Get lots of decent meat from them.

I've pre ordered from my local butchers.

Christmas Eve, from the butchers.
It is a small emergency turkey though, as we are hoping to be at my mum and dads. We ordered it just in case we end up having to self isolate, or mum and dad do. If all is well, we will eat it on Boxing Day!

We love an Aldi crown! They release their fresh Christmas meat on December 19th so will try to get one fairly soon after that.

Bought a frozen turkey crown in Lidl weeks ago. Will also have gammon and either lamb or pork. DH got 3 meats one year and now it's a thing. We eat it for the next week or so with bubble and squeak, in curry or pie so nothing wasted and feels special.

We did have a local free range turkey a few years in a row as we were given them whole and unplucked by neighbours who reared them. They were lovely, but I wouldn't spend £££ on one.

Pre ordered from butcher. Done it for the first time last year and the quality was ten times better.

M&S food to order

Already bought a frozen one from Lidl.

M&S food to order. Picking it up on the 22nd along a gammon and a couple of desserts.

A local farm - they do really nice turkey and have good welfare standards. Hopefully the leftovers will see us through quite a while.

We've got our usual order in for the local butcher but I also have a turkey crown in the freezer in case anything goes wrong!

Don't know where to get turkey at the moment! There are only 3 of us and ASDA only had huge crowns left yesterday, >£20!

M&S one being delivered by Ocado.

Random half price M&S one that was half price from Ocado it has already arrived and is now in the freezer. It was £30 rather than £60!

Morrison's food to order. Taking a chance and ordering everything, starter, turkey crown and all the bits plus desserts. Hoping it all goes well 🤞

Pre ordered to pick up on 23rd from supermarket. Two turkeys because we like to cook and freeze it for later meals. Will share some with the ILs as well so they don't have to cook.

Usually I get a frozen one from Tesco. This year I was going to get a £30 stuffed turkey crown from Tesco but then saw a good deal at the local butchers for a small crown, gammon, beef, stuffing and pigs and blankets for £40 so thought that was a bargain. Looking forward to lots of cold meat sandwhiches 😋

Pre-ordered a crown and beef from the excellent local butcher- he only buys from one local free range supplier, and stocks bronze birds; he said he won’t sell white turkeys (I assume because they have very little flavour).

We’re collecting on 23rd.

From local turkey farm with excellent care standards, pre-ordered and will collect on 23rd. Normally go to our local farm shop (again always pre-order and collect on 23rd), but thought we'd go straight to source this time.

From a farmer friend nearby. Almost zero food miles - during lockdown we have often walked through the farm on public footpaths and heard the turkeys gobbling as we pass! Will pick up on 23rd because we actually eat the Turkey before Christmas Day

Got mine from our local butchers today
