Do you enjoy eating turkey?

I don't mind what the roast is as long as there is a mountain of Yorkshires on the table.

Just like eating. Turkey will do nicely.

If Christmas isn’t cancelled again this year, we shall have, turkey, porn and beef

Too much information ?

Vegetarian here so Nut or Quorn Roast with veg and Yorkshire. Bootiful!

I like turkey and eat it during the year nowadays as it is widely available in turkey steaks and mince. It's more healthy than most other meats as well.

We have turkey and enjoy it. We did have goose one year but it was a bit disappointing and I do like a turkey sandwich after the big day. We often have chicken so wouldn’t feel that special for the big day. Enjoy your Christmas lunch, whatever you choose!

When I was young, I never heard of anyone having turkey at Christmas. It would be duck or goose or hen.

I did like the taste of turkey, when I had it, but have now been vegetarian for many years so only have fake turkey, if any.

My favourite way of eating turkey is cold in a sandwich, perhaps with a bit of stuffing, or cranberry sauce or perhaps my homemade piccalilli.

When I was a child my maternal grandparents posted us a fresh turkey from their small farm in rural Ireland every Christmas. My Mum would be watching out excitedly for it to arrive during Christmas week. Wrapped up in brown paper and string with red sealing wax on the knots. We didn’t have a fridge and the local butcher stored it in his chill room for a couple of days.

I remember one year it arrived with the leg poking out through the brown paper. Amazingly we were never poisoned!

Grannynannywanny oh for goodness sake! That doesn’t sound like a wholesome family meal ?
I really hope we get an edit button one day, my dyslexic brain would be so thankful.

Ooh yes. Turkey and stuffing sandwiches with crisp lettuce and mayonnaise. ???

Only turkey breast so I only buy the crown. There's something about the darker meat that doesn't appeal. I would sooner have a good beef joint to be honest but 'im indoors likes his turkey.

I like leg meat not breast of turkey. Like Judy I love all the trimmings which go with it. Lashings of gravy and sprouts.

I love Turkey with all the trimmings.

I’m going round to DillyyheGardener’s for Christmas dinner

I love turkey but haven't had any for three years. Everyone says turkey meat is dry but it is not if you cook it properly, surrounded by stock and with a butter soaked muslin over the breast.
I tried to buy one to cook for the family at Easter but couldn't find any, apart from one costing £36 at Waitrose, three years ago. As I go to other people's houses for Christmas Day I have lots of lovely things to eat, but no turkey.

I love turkey, but only since I started cooking it quickly. Approximately 2.5 hours for a large turkey ensures lovely moist meat. I was forced to have beef one year by my in laws (they bought it) and DH nearly had conniptions. It’s been turkey ever since.

I’ve never eaten turkey. I’ve not eaten meat since I was 18 and when I was a child we had capon.
I do buy an organic free range bronze one for my meat eating guests and husband though.

Ooo porn ?

Ooh, DillytheGardener - "turkey, porn and beef" - must be a very interesting Xmas round at yours!

Is it a ticketed event Dilly? 2 for us please.

I don't care much for turkey, it always seems quite bland. We're going to have beef Rogan Josh this year, made from scratch, with various accompaniments..... and several lagers.

I enjoy the stuffing, roasties, and cranberry sauce.

Don’t eat meat or fish either, bluesky and notagran so not for me I don’t have guests so don’t have to buy any meat ?
