Organic Stuffed Turkey Crown (2.5kg)

Let us take the stress out of Christmas cooking with a crown of our organic Bronze turkey, expertly prepared by our butchers and stuffed with a mouthwatering sage and onion stuffing and wrapped in nitrate-free bacon for maximum juiciness and flavour.

Our turkeys ​​are slow-grown and have plenty of space to roam, run and indulge their natural instincts for a bird full of flavour and tenderness.

At The Organic Butchery all of our turkeys are Bronze birds. This is an old-fashioned breed that almost fell into extinction when white turkeys were chosen for intensive farming. Once slaughtered, our birds are dry plucked and waxed to make sure there are no pesky feathers left behind. The carcasses are then hung in a temperature-controlled environment for at least 7 days, meaning the bird you receive will be in tip-top condition, tender as can be and packed with flavour.

Minimum Shelf Life: 3 Days 

Available for delivery from 10th - 23rd December. 

How To Store

Please Note: If you plan to purchase a turkey before December 18th, please remember to store it in the freezer until you’re ready to cook it. Properly freezing your turkey will ensure it stays fresh and flavourful for your Festive celebrations.

Remove the Turkey Crown from its wrapping. Place the Turkey Crown onto a wire rack and sit the rack on a plate. 

Pop the plate into the bottom of the fridge, making sure you have allowed space around the bird for the air to circulate. It is really important to make sure your bird stays cold and dry and must be kept refrigerated below 3°C. 

Thawing:
If your roast is frozen, planning for proper thawing is important to ensure even cooking and food safety. For best results, allow 24 hours of thawing time in the refrigerator for every 2.5 kg of meat. For this means you should allow approximately 2 to 3 days for the roast to thaw in the fridge fully.

Here are a few additional tips to ensure your roast thaws properly:

• Keep it in the original packaging while thawing to prevent any potential contamination or mess from leaking juices.
• Place the roast on a tray or in a shallow dish to catch any liquid that might escape as it defrosts.
• Ensure your refrigerator stays at or below 4°C

Avoid thawing the roast on the countertop at room temperature, as this can lead to uneven thawing.
