Turkey? Anything but Turkey?

[CatRyan]

Haven't had Turkey since my mother was alive. She was pretty staunch and a General in the kitchen so we had no say in it.

Usually go for beef or lamb but this year going for a few chickens due to dietary requirements of the guests.

Turkey, beef and strips of belly pork/crackling in our house this year.

Love it me. Butter basted with sausage meat stuffing. Absolutely tremendous.

You need Turkey but no reason why can't do other things too.

Beef Rib this year as well.

Chicken is only a small turkey.

Not exactly. Prefer chicken.

If you do Turkey I think you have to do Bacon and a really moist homemade stuffing. Otherwise it is a chore.

We decided to just dispense with the Turkey and have meat we liked.

Last time I did Xmas dinner, we had Goose. It was lovely, much much better than Turkey. But going out for dinner this year, so I might have lamb.

Not a huge turkey fan tbh, always seems dry.

I was disappointed by goose. Found it a bit gamey for my tastes.

My mother was a brilliant cook and spent all night cooking the turkey so it was as good as it could be.
None of us had that skill set or desire.

Turkey is an American abomination anyway... Goose is the traditional Christmas meat.

We alternate where we have Christmas dinner between three homes each year, but we all contribute, so it’s not a massive chore for whoever’s turn it is.

I’m doing honey glazed gammon and a cranberry and sausagemeat stuffing.

My mam will do turkey and sister will do a roast beef.

Bacon on top butter under the skin, one of them bronze turkeys, f***ing lush.

Love Turkey me like, can’t wait to make a massive sarnie with stuffing and gravy on Boxing Day with the leftovers.

Carp and potato sounds nice.
