🎄 LARGE FRESH WHOLE TURKEY — 10–11 KG 🎄

A Christmas centrepiece for a big family gathering! Our fresh whole turkeys come from Grove Smith Turkeys in Braintree, Essex, a family-run turkey farm.

Cooking instructions — unstuffed turkey

1. Remove packaging and any giblets from the cavities. Do not wash the turkey. Check that your bird and roasting tin fit comfortably in your oven.

2. Preheat to 180°C / 160°C fan / Gas Mark 4.

3. Place breast-side up in a roasting tin, rub with butter or oil, season and loosely cover with foil. Cook stuffing separately.

4. Allow approximately 35 minutes per kg: 5 hours 50 minutes for 10 kg, or 6 hours 25 minutes for 11 kg. Remove foil for the final 30 minutes to brown.

5. Check the thickest parts of the breast and thigh with a clean meat thermometer, avoiding bone. They must reach 75°C for at least 30 seconds. Continue cooking if needed—timings are only a guide.

6. Rest loosely covered for 30 minutes before carving.

Always follow the cooking instructions supplied with your turkey. Keep refrigerated and use by the date shown.
