Our Early Christmas

[lidlicker]

We shall be celebrating Christmas with a family dinner early, 13-15 December as some family members will be away for Christmas.
Does anyone know if the supermarkets will have fresh turkeys in that early? Thanks in advance.

They had some fresh turkey crowns in Costco today but I didn't see any whole turkeys.

You might be better asking your local butcher, if the supermarkets think that's a bit early - but some places (e.g. M&S and Tesco) sell turkey crowns most of the year.

They offer Christmas meals in restaurants and pubs earlier than that, so there must be some available. I'd look online and see.

Thank you ALL. I knew someone here could help !!

Go to a private Butcher. Most will have Turkeys all the tear round. By the 13th-15th most butchers that sell fresh turkeyswill have them in by then as they like to hang them to improve the flavour.
