How early would you buy a fresh turkey for eating on Christmas day............

[lilibet]

without giving all the carnivores food poisoning?

Sorry for seemingly thick question but dh and I are veggie !

Not sure. If you are buying from a butchers then you ought to be able to order one in advance and they'll advise you how much in advance you could collect it. If you are buying form a supermarket why not have a look next time you are there & see how long the current use by dates are then work backwards form Xmas day ifswim?

Good idea!
