Turkey for lunch, then ham in the evening for dinner, ideal.

Three Bird Roast (Turkey, Chicken & Duck)

Only two of us so can't really have Goose (which is my favorite)

A quality turkey, cooked to perfection by the mother-in-law: Dry meat? Flavourless? NO CHANCE!

Accompanied by Pigs in Blankets, a selection of stuffings and all the other delicious extras!

We have turkey, gammon, sausages and bacon. Oh, and salmon and prawns.

Turkey & gammon

V4nger · 23 Dec 2010 at 13:01

Duck

And various other things I can't think of right now

Turkey and beef.

Then on boxing day we normally have left over turkey and beef, and pork in honey.

I really like turkey, but it's goose this year.

We tried Goose one year, and it was a bit of a let down. I don't know if it was just the way we did it, or it just isn't a fantastic meat.

Turkey this year, and as always a honey glazed ham, and don't forget to put cloves in the fat too!

Roast beef.

Turducken this year from the local butchers. Not had one before so looking forward to it

chriscubed · 23 Dec 2010 at 13:40

Was about to ask wtf a Turducken was then I remembered that bird is the word.

We're having venison casserole.

Used to be Turkey for us, but in the past several years we have changed to the traditional goose instead.

goose is one of the nicest meats, but you do need to keep draining the fat out of it, through out the cooking. They are ridiculously fatty,
shame they are so darn expensive.

This, goose tastes gorgeous when done right, for those people who have a halogen cooker, I really recommend doing it in that, the results we've had from halogen cooking our goose have been tremendous.

Goose is lovely, but it has to be cooked differently turkeydue to the amount of fat that comes out. The fat (or rather around 10% of it) does make the best roast potatoes you'll ever eat.

Used to always have turkey but have gone off the taste of it and it's 50/50 if you get a dry as hell one or one that's ok
