Why did you buy it?

Make sure you use the carcass and make stock - and then grind the bones down to put on your garden - Inner warmth will follow my son....


Amen

You saw, you paid , you eat it and NOW you feel ripped off??
Sounds like you left it till too late and then were a victim of " Imust have it " regardless of price.

Now I'm glad I don't like it and bought a Matthews turkey roast instead, £1 at Jack Fultons.

£45 for a big free range bronze Copas here. Got enough left over for a curry, 2 pies and lunch for the week - made stock last night too. Bones have gone in the bokashi bin...

Hate turkey its a dry and horrible meat and takes a ton of coal to cook it.
To cook it requires a lot of effort and injections of flavour basting to make it taste good.

60 quid..........you could have gone to a good restaurant and had change for that

Turkeys crap, dry and no taste....

We had a beef and pork cuts which where delicious....

Send the turkey back to America and go for a goose....

Turkey is fine if you cook it properly, ours was lovely and moist, try Delia Smith's recipe here

our problem was the power cut with 15 minutes to go, fortunately by leaving the oven doors closed and giving it an extra 10 minutes everything came out of the oven cooked properly if not quite as brown as we like but we lost the veg on the hob as the water had only just started boiling when the power went off.

Typically the power came back on just as we finished eating.
