TRIED & TASTED you
Battle of the birds
The centrepiece of the traditional Christmas dinner is the turkey.
Specially Selected Ultimate Turkey Stuffed Crown and Bacon Wrapped Thigh 3.4kg, £34.99, Aldi (main picture)
This crown and thigh combo comes in a tray that’s oven-ready, helping to minimise Christmas dishes. The meat is succulent and well-seasoned and the stuffing is lovely and fruity.
BEST SUPERMARKET TURKEY
Irresistible Organic Pembrokeshire Turkey, 4-5.5kg, £45, Co-op
This turkey had a gorgeous golden, crispy skin after cooking and the meat was still perfectly moist. Be sure to save the juices and make an exceptional gravy.
The Best of Both: Free Range Bronze Turkey Crown with Thighs, 2.9kg, £65, Waitrose
We love this cook-in-a-bag option. The meat is moist and flavoursome and the bacon gives it a delicious smoky flavour. The stuffing is rich with sage and has a nice coarse texture. Tasty leftovers for sarnies.
Brilliant beef
