sounds complicated --think I`ll just buy a crown,

We tend to have a crown Ros and we've always enjoyed it-none of us eats the legs anyway so we decided to buy a crown one year and have stuck with it ever since-anyway I was put off turkey legs when I was going out with hubby and his mum cooked me the biggest turkey leg I'd ever seen and she got them off the market-well this turkey must have trekked across the sahara cos it was so tough you couldnt literally get a fork prong into it-it was like one of those joke rubber ones!!

We will be having bucks fizz then prawn cocktails followed by roast chicken (not keen on turkey) baby new and roast spuds, mixed veg, stuffing and gravy followed by christmas pud or cheesecake. (I agree AB when we used to have a turkey most of it went in the bin or the cat! as lots of it didnt get eaten)

anyone bought a turkey crown from M and S, going to get one tomorrow and freeze it what size for 7 people , haven`t done Christmas for years.

Hi Ros we have had a crown from M&S and Morrisons and both are nice.You will probably need one around about 8 or 9lb I think depends how much you like.

I have brought a fresh crown from Asda for the last 7 years and it always has a great flavour. I stuff it with an onion and cook it on it's breast for the first hour then turn it over and cover it with Bacon to finish it off.
We start with prawn cocktails except for youngest who usually has soup. Then the bird with all the traditional trimmings then I have Xmas pud, hubby has mince pies and the girls usually have a slice of christmas chocolate log which I always make myself.
