Hey! When my dad said how much turkeys are in the supermarket I couldn't believe it! Have you got any local farm shops around to ask? Some farmers may be taking turkey orders. They do in our area anyway! X

My mother in law always gets ours and I think she got it from asda (I'll double check) but it's a Bernard Matthews turkey crown for £17 not bad considering it's all turkey breast. It's always enough to feed us four plus loads left over.

My Aunt has ordered locally, she got a Turkey Crown, so it's mainly just breast, not sure if that means it was cheaper....

Turkey crowns tend to be more expensive than whole turkeys - I reckon it's cos you get more out of a crown.

I'm gettig ours from OH's work. Lucky he works in a butchers!

try your local butchers?

Does it have to be Turkey? What about a gammon or beef joint? Or get a couple of whole chickens. Options! Who says you have to eat Turkey on Christmas Day?
