    Default YOUR TURKEY.....

    Do you have a frozen one?

    Or a fresh one?

    Do you have a whole Turkey?

    Or a crown?

    Do you have something other than Turkey?

    We are always at my mums and she always does 2 huge turkeys, a ham and a leg of lamb. It is crazy the amount of meat she cooks! She doesnt use the timer either so its always overdone and it takes HOURS AND HOURS! We never get lunch, always very late dinner! Worst of all is that she wont sit down AT ALL and stands sentry in the kitchen and expects me to do the same so i dont get to eat chocolate and play with the boys. This year i persuaded her to go to the local hotel!

    What's for you, wont pass by you

    Boned and rolled. I am hungry thinking about it.

    We get a local, organic turkey as part of hubby's christmas box
    Last year i did the Nigella method of brining it and it was the best ever! Hope to do it again this year as long as the weathers cold enough (its too big to go in fridge in a tub of water lol)

    I always used to buy a free range organic turkey from M&S, and it used to cost me in excess of £60!!!

    Last year we just couldn't afford it so I bought a frozen turkey crown which is stuffed and covered in bacon from Aldi, and it was delicious, have bought the same again this year. And it cost me £9.99!!!

    Always have a M&S easy carve boneless turkey, but this year DD wants Duck so we are having duck as well, we will also have a gammon and a beef joint over the christmas period.

    There is only the 5 of us and DD and DS1 are both working so we will go to the pub for a couple of hours and watch them both work ( they wanted to work as they get double time and usually get good tips) then go home and cook the dinner for about 6.30pm.

    Frozen.
    We need a really large one so a fresh Turkey is too expensive.

    We are having venison casserole with chestnuts. Very yummy!
    But the kids will have a small breast of Turkey with all the trimmings as they think we are cruel and eating 'Bambi' , but it's only the mum

    (That sounds horrid doesn't it?)

    I bought a fresh crown today and have frozen it. Morrisons had a 20% staff discount day today so I also bought a joint of beef and a gammon and all have gone in the freezer. We have all the trimmings though
