PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This turkey will be delivered directly to you from the farm on Friday, December 20th (this will arrive separately from the rest of your order). The last day to order this is Monday, December 16th.

Delight the whole family this Christmas with an outstanding free-range turkey from DukesHill. This 6kg bronze turkey will serve 8-10 people and is a surefire way to satisfy your tastebuds in a traditional way on the big day!

Our award-winning, bronze turkeys are sourced from third-generation turkey farmers who have been rearing turkeys for forty years. The turkeys roam freely in grassy paddocks and meadows of the family farm. They are fed a natural cereal-based diet consisting of wheat, soya bean, barley, rape seed extract, minerals, and natural herbs; free from antibiotics and growth promoters.

We are proud to work closely with our turkey suppliers who care about the welfare of their turkeys and ensure their natural North American habitat is replicated as much as possible. To that end, all the birds roam freely in the grassy paddocks and meadows of the farm from eight weeks of age, to allow a happy and natural lifestyle. 

The free-range turkeys are plucked by hand to avoid the negative effects on the quality of the bird associated with wet plucking. During wet plucking, the entire bird is dipped in hot water, which contains high bacteria levels.  All of our bronze turkeys are hung for a minimum of 7 days.

Each free-range turkey comes complete with a pop-up timer, cooking instructions (including cooking times for 6kg turkey) and giblets. Order your free-range turkey from DukesHill now for delivery in time for Christmas Day!

Good Housekeeping Taste Insititute Approved.

REVIEWS & QUESTIONS

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Make sure you have an oven and roasting tin that are big enough for your bird, with room for all the fat and cooking juices. Use the weight of your bird to get your timings right, leaving plenty of time for your turkey to rest when it comes out of the oven. If you are stuffing your bird, you need to include the weight of stuffing into your calculations. We recommend just stuffing the neck cavity, restricting the body cavity to a few aromatics such as a halved onion and a few sprigs of thyme or sage. It’s best to let it rest for an hour at least, but a large bird could easily rest for an hour and a half, leaving plenty of time to get on with roasting the potatoes. We include a handy pop-out timer with every turkey. Insert your timer at a point approximately 3cm to the right or left of the front tip of the breastbone. The timer should not touch any bone. The timer and cooking times below are for guidance only, as all ovens vary. Pre-heat your oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4 for at least 20 minutes. 4-5kg – cook 2¼ to 2½ hours, 5-6kg – cook 2½ to 3 hours ,6-7kg – cook 3 hours to 3½ hours, 7-8kg – cook 3½ to 4 hours ,8-9kg – cook 4 to 4¼ hours .Get your turkey out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before you cook it; a stone-cold bird will take longer to cook. Place some vegetables (onions, carrots etc.) in the roasting tray under the bird to enrich the turkey juices for fantastic gravy. There is no need to use foil, but it can help to roast the bird breast side down at first, turning it over for the final hour to get the turkey nicely browned. Roast your bird for the calculated time, or until the pop-out timer pops. if using a digital thermometer, we recommend cooking to an internal temperature of 65ºC, as the bird will continue to cook after removing from the oven. To be completely safe, check that the juices run clear when you pierce the thigh with a skewer. Do not overcook your turkey; it should be moist and succulent. Once cooked, lift the turkey out of the tray and rest on a carving board, covered loosely with foil, for at least an hour while you get on with the finishing touches to the rest of your meal.
