Choose from medium, large and extra-large (from 10 to 22 servings); they take 3 to 5 hours to cook, depending on weight*. Crowns Kept on the bone to ensure succulent meat, a crown is solely the breast, so it’s perfect if you prefer lighter meat. (Some Tesco crowns also come with

prime wings attached.) Taking up less oven space, a crown can still provide from 7 (medium) to 15 (large) servings. Cooks in 2-3 hours*. Breast joints Boneless joints are great for easy cooking and carving. Ready to roast in their own foil trays or bags, they’re perfectly sized to provide six servings. Parcels and stuffed options Tick off meat and stuffing all in one
go with these great space-saving options. Choose from either a stuffed crown or breast. A stuffed crown can provide up to 8 servings; a stuffed breast can provide enough for 10 servings; or choose individual parcels for two that cook in only 35 minutes*. Stuffing helps to infuse the meat with flavour and moisture, but, of course, you can still serve extra on the side, if you fancy it. See the turkey cooking calculator on p15

H ow to c o o k yo u r bird E xper t tips to help you prep, cook and ser ve your turkey like a pro Before you start First, preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 150°C. For whole birds, remove any giblets from the neck (simmer these in a flavour-packed stock as the basis for your gravy) and bring to room temperature up to an hour before cooking (30 minutes for smaller joints). Stuffing If your turkey is not already stuffed, it’s safer to cook the stuffing separately. Fill the cavity instead with woody herbs (such as bay, rosemary and thyme) or halved citrus fruits to infuse the meat while it cooks. Roll your stuffing mix into individual balls and

cook on a roasting tray or press into an oven dish, then bake until golden. During cooking Baste the meat roughly every 40 minutes with any juices in the tray. Refer to the specific instructions on the pack for when to cover your bird with foil, in order to get optimum results. That way you will ensure you get succulent,
moist meat covered with deliciously browned skin. Timings Cooking times for crowns and whole birds are calculated by weight (smaller joints and breasts have a fixed time). Use the table shown above as a general guide, but always follow the pack instructions for an exact cooking time.

How to check A kitchen thermometer inserted into the thickest parts of the leg, avoiding the bone, should reach 75°C. Or, if you don’t have a thermometer, the juices should run clear when pierced in the same place. If not, return it to the oven for another 15 minutes and check again until done. Let it rest Once you’ve taken your bird or joint out of the oven, cover loosely with foil and rest for 30 minutes – or up to an hour for a whole bird – to allow the juices to reabsorb back into the meat. During this time you can finish off preparing your sides and trimmings.

Follow these simple steps to car ve your whole bird with ease
1 Start by removing the legs. Carefully cut around the joint between the leg and breast and pull the leg away. If too hot to hold, use kitchen towel to wrap the end of the leg to protect your hand.

3 Leave drumsticks whole or slice the meat off the bone by holding upright and cutting it using a downwards motion. Lay the thigh flat and carve off slices parallel to the bone.
EXPERT PICK Tesco Finest British Free Range Bronze Turkey Cushion with Hidden Orange Centre
4 The breast meat can be carved into thin slices straight off the whole bird by holding the knife at a slight angle and cutting diagonally down, away from you. Alternatively, you can remove the whole breast by cutting along the breast bone and underneath, then place on the chopping board and slice thickly against the grain.

Steer clear of Christmas stress this year with these useful tips for keeping your celebrations fun and hassle-free
The big freeze
Bite size
Child’s play
Laying on food at Christmas often requires a certain amount of flexibility, and that need to flex might be more important than usual this year. For this, your freezer is your friend – look out for the ‘Suitable for freezing’ icon on the products in this brochure, particularly in the buffet section (p49) and desserts section (p42). Having some products stashed in the freezer means you’ll have food you can whip out when you fancy – and that won’t go off if you don’t use it exactly when you thought you would.
When serving grazing food, it can sometimes be difficult to calculate the right amount. If you’re not serving a main meal, aim for roughly six different bites per person for a quick celebration, or about the same every hour if you’re celebrating over lunch, dinnertime or the whole evening.
Set up a dedicated table for the little ones with child-friendly snacks, soft drinks and fun activities so they feel part of the celebrations, too.
DIY drinks To serve drinks, create a bar area with glasses, garnishes and an ice bucket. People generally love the sense of generosity of being able to serve themselves, and it means you don’t have to play bartender to everyone all the time.
Serve smart When cooking celebratory meals, keep the pressure off yourself by keeping everyone happy with snacks, then cook and serve any hot dishes first. If you’re serving cold dishes, prep them ahead and chill until you need them.
24
Fair share You don’t have to do everything yourself. Ask for help from family with putting up decorations, topping up snacks throughout the day or planning some fun games – they’ll probably surprise you how much they’re happy to get involved.
Create set spaces There’s no need to decorate the whole house, so focus on the key areas. Set the scene at the front door in the hallway, and make one or two rooms the main space.

G oing ve g a n t his C h r is t m a s Make your Christmas feast veganfriendly with a few simple tweaks Cook with oil To keep things hasslefree, use flavourless oil (rapeseed, vegetable or sunflower) for cooking your roasties and other vegetables, rather than butter or goose fat. Go Mediterranean This is a great way to tick the vegan box easily. Choose fresh salad starters and serve bread with olive oil. For buffets, serve bowls of ready-made roasted peppers or aubergines, along with sundried tomatoes and olives. Sweeten up Honey isn’t vegan, so to make your veg sticky and sweet, use a light drizzle of maple syrup.
28
Make more of nuts These are another great, vegan-friendly ingredient to use. They’re really versatile, from adding a crunch to veg dishes to making a tasty festive snack to have with drinks. Get creative Need extra side dishes? Vegetable-focused mains also work well as side dishes for everyone else. Just make sure you have enough of them.
44 Tesco Finest Four Brie & Cranberry Parcels £10 Four crispy filo parcels filled with creamy Brie and a sweet onion and cranberry chutney.

Help make hosting the big day run smoothly with our expert planning advice
Now MENU PLANNING Put together your menu for Christmas Day (plus any other celebrations you’re organising), double checking whether any of those you’ll be feeding have specific dietary requirements. Then, on the ‘Your Shopping List’ page (p55), make a note of your product picks from this brochure, and place your order online (see p4 for details).
One month before
GET YOUR FREEZER STOCKED UP Lots of key elements for Christmas dinner (like sauces and gravy, pigs in blankets, stuffing, some cooked seafood, and some ready-made puddings and buffet food) all freeze well (just check the product info), which will help you cut down on last-minute shopping stress, and allows you to be more adaptable. Check what can be cooked straight from frozen, as well.
The week before
READY YOUR KITCHEN Check you have all the serving dishes and utensils you’ll need, including a carving board and knife (give it a sharpen if it needs it). And don’t forget to stock up on large tin foil for roasting, resting and leftovers.
When the main arrives
DO A DRY RUN Whether you’ve chosen poultry or a joint, make sure that it easily fits in your roasting tin, fridge and oven (you may need to move the shelves around). Also, calculate the cooking time, so you’ll know when it should go in the oven. For turkey, turn to p15 for our guide; for joints of meat, use realfood.tesco.com/cooking-calculator.html.
The day before
PREP IN ADVANCE Defrost any food that isn’t to be cooked from frozen. Peel your spuds and veg in advance and keep them in pans of cold water until ready to cook.
The night before
SET THE TABLE Rope in the kids to help out with setting out crockery and cutlery, as well as any table decorations you want to use, from baubles and ribbons, to natural touches like clementines and cinnamon sticks.
The big day
HAVE FUN If there isn’t any further room in the fridge, put drinks in an ice bucket in the morning, so they’re chilled when you want them. Get your main dish in the oven on time – after that, things should feel less stressful! While the meat is resting, your sides and veg can cook through, and sauces can be cooked on the hob. Put on a party hat and grab yourself a cracker – you should be enjoying the celebration, too.
