Make it a centrepiece to remember with Thorner’s Traditional Turkey, a classic whole bird for Christmas dinner, family gatherings and special occasions. Weighing between 4kg and 4.99kg, it comfortably serves 8 to 10 guests, with tender white meat for everyone and plenty left over for Boxing Day sandwiches, curries and pies.

Thorner’s takes a traditional approach to turkeys, giving a full flavour and succulent texture that a festive table deserves. Each bird comes with the giblets inside, perfect for making a rich homemade stock or gravy. Simply remove them before cooking, then add your favourite stuffing, a little butter, bacon and your choice of trimmings.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

All our whole turkeys come with the giblets inside, so please remove these before cooking. Preheat your oven to 230°C / 210°C fan / Gas 8, then weigh your turkey (including any stuffing) to calculate the cooking time. For turkeys of 4kg and over, allow 20 minutes per kg plus 90 minutes, and for turkeys under 4kg, allow 20 minutes per kg plus 70 minutes. Place the turkey breast side down in a large roasting tin and cover loosely with foil, as this keeps the breast meat succulent while the dark meat cooks through evenly. Roast for 30 minutes, then reduce the oven to 190°C / 170°C fan / Gas 5 for the remainder of the cooking time. About 30 minutes before the end, remove the foil and carefully turn the turkey breast side up so the skin can brown. To check it’s cooked, pierce the thickest part of the thigh with a skewer: the juices should run clear with no trace of pink, and the meat should be piping hot throughout, reaching at least 74°C if you’re using a meat thermometer. Cover loosely with foil and leave to rest for 30 minutes before carving.
