For traditionalists
Whole turkeys
If you’re looking for a traditional centrepiece, a whole bird is the perfect option, as it gives your guests a choice of juicy turkey breast meat, crispy legs or fall-off-the-bone wing meat. You should have plenty of meat for Boxing Day leftovers too – I always look forward to a Christmas dinner sarnie!

FOR FUSS-FREE FEASTING
Turkey crowns
In a rush, or want to spend less time in the kitchen? Look no further than a turkey crown. Crowns don’t need to be cooked for as long as a whole turkey – plus, they’re compact, which is great if you’re pushed for oven space. Crowns are ideal if everyone you’re feeding prefers that lighter-tasting white breast meat, and you can get them glazed or stuffed for incredible flavour.
