🎄 SMALL FRESH WHOLE TURKEY — 4–5 KG 🎄

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

🍽️ Serves approximately 8–10 people with all the Christmas trimmings. Allow fewer servings if you’d like generous portions and leftovers.

Cooking instructions — unstuffed turkey

Remove all packaging and any giblets from the cavities. Do not wash the turkey.

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

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

Allow approximately 3–3½ hours, following the supplier’s instructions for your bird’s exact weight. Remove the foil for the final 30 minutes to brown the skin.

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—time alone cannot confirm it is cooked.

Rest loosely covered for 30 minutes before carving.

Keep refrigerated and use by the date shown.
