I sort of know this lady, as we bump into one another on another forum, and she is a serious cook.

Hi all,as to eric,s post above,I would just like to add that I myself am a very serious cook,so if anyone needs any tips or advice just let me know.
One good tip regarding the turkey,if you remove the wishbone before cooking you will be able to carve the breast much more easily and get nice big slices.

She's spot on about getting the "right" turkey. Few of us can afford free-range chicken (£9 a bird in the Co-op) every Sunday but we can make the effort once a year surely? Plus if it means less cash for Bernard Matthews' deceitful company it can't be bad :)

Yes,try and buy free range at least,it doesn,t have to be organic.Both free range and organic have access to outside.The only difference is the feed they have.The whole animal welfare thing is something I am very passionate about.I try and buy free range meat whenever possible.I know it is more expensive,but just buy a little less quantity and get better quality.The average life of a battery chicken is 6 weeks,where as a good free range chicken will be double that.Yes there is a difference in taste,once you have eaten free range chicken you will not want to go back to the cheap tasteless battery produced chicken.When you see the so called 'super roaster' in supermarkets weighing about 2kg think about the miserable life they have had.They are pumped full of anti biotics and growth hormones they put weight on that fast their legs can hardly support them.I would never buy anything with the Bernard Matthews label even if I was starving.
There will be a Jamie Oliver special on TV in January(I think) showing you all about the cruelty in the poultry industry.Try and watch it and make up your own mind.
We are having a free range bronze turkey for christmas which is from a local shop and  has been reared on a farm on the outskirts of Sheffield.

Too often, I have found people unable to resist a second helping of turkey and then discovered that they are completely unable to enjoy a slice of plum pudding, or a mince pie, without feeling uncomfortable for the rest of the day.

Sounds like me  :D

Is that what you're having on Christmas day then Steph? Here are the instructions you need:

1. Buy a packet of fish fingers
2. Read the cooking instructions on the back of the packet
3. Follow them

Both free range and organic have access to outside

free range chickens do have access to the outside but that could be in the form of 1 small opening for a barn the size of half a footy pitch per god knows how many birds, but they dont go out anyway coz they're too scared.  the barns also have the lights on full blast day and night so the chickens dont hardly sleep which makes more meat on them and they are fed on GM corn.

i dont personally wont eat any chickens which arent organic.  even if they cost quite a bit more they cook and taste a 100% better.
