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?

Pre ordered a turkey crown, pork pie, pigs in blankets and sausage meat from local independent butcher. Pick up on 23rd.

Have pre-ordered a turkey crown, ham, & pigs in blankets from our local butchers. DH ordered it though & hasn't given them a pick-up date so he has to still sort that

Tesco basted turkey crown with stuffing. Getting collected Dec 23 (waited in a queue for three hours after they released slots but could only get click and collect).

Ordered at farm shop, reared on a local farm.

Turkey is ordered from local farm and I will collect it a couple of days before Xmas. Chipolatas, bacon and gammon joint will also be ordered from a different farm shop where we usually buy our weekly meat.

Collecting it 23rd December from Booths.

Marks or Aldi.
Marks had none last year when I went to buy mine so I popped in to Aldi and got one. It was delicious.
The manager in Marks said she couldn't get one either

We’ve had turkeys from Aldi several times in the past and all have been very nice.

I'm not. I'm going to someone else's house and they are cooking a goose, which they ordered a couple of weeks ago.

Local butcher. Collect early christmas eve

Pre ordered from butcher's for delivery 23rd. It's a crown though, got a beef joint and gammon coming with it.😁

I'm American; most of us don't eat turkey at Christmas since we have just had a holiday where turkey-eating takes center stage. We will pick up an already cooked ham a few days before Christmas.

We generally don’t have turkey either. Most often it’s goose. Sometimes duck, sometimes roast pork. We always have a Christmas ham, though, cooked on the 23rd so we can eat it on Christmas Eve through to Boxing Day. One of these days we’ll do a rib of beef.

Sorry, bit of a derail. I love roasts and get very excited talking about them...

We collect from a farm down the road on Christmas Eve

Bought my Christmas meat a few weeks ago. Lamb gammon turkey crown and pork and giant pigs in blankets. Thank god I did because we all went down with covid and I lost 2 weeks wages and decembers wage is dire due to finishing 18th!

Ordered free range bird from a local farm shop. I think paying a bit more for higher welfare standards and better taste is well worth it. Plus I've ordered stuffing and pigs in blankets so I don't have to think about buying those at the supermarket.

M&s food to order turkey crown. 24th 10am

We pre-ordered about a month ago from DHs friend who owns a small farm. Had one from her the year before last and it was so tasty. She only had 20 this year and between my family and ILs we've nabbed 5 of them!

I've put my foot down, bought a chicken crown from lidl. It's in the freezer. I'm sick of eating Turkey till new year.

There is only 3 of us so I usually get a Turkey Crown from Waitrose or M&S as they are both local to me and always have a huge stock in on the 22/23rd .

I already have everything in my freezer, 2 crowns of turkey from Aldi, smoked gammon from tesco and a whole fillet of beef from an online butchers.
Still waiting to see if will be only us three or my in-laws are coming. Either way we will eat everything at some point.

Mines been in the freezer for a few weeks.

We have a turkey on Boxing Day or the 27th (beef on xmas day), and tbh a frozen one is absolutely fine, especially as its all the trimmings that are the nice bit anyway.

From the garden... hatched, reared, despatched and cooked on site. We’re quite excited!
