A traditional Christmas Turkey is the centrepiece of the festive table. Farmfetch's Christmas turkeys are free range and slow-grown, reared by trusted British farms including John Howe of Kent, Usk Valley in Wales, and Primrose Herd in Cornwall. Choose from whole birds, crowns, breast roasts and portions in classic Bronze or White varieties. All turkeys are pre-order only for Christmas delivery.
FAQs
As a rough guide: a 3kg bird serves 2–4 people, 5kg serves 6–8, 8kg serves 12–14, and 12kg serves 20–22. See the full size guide above, or on each product page, for every size in between.
Bronze turkeys have a richer, gamier flavour and are closely related to wild turkeys native to the US — their black and metallic plumage gives them their name. White turkeys are the classic, most popular choice in the UK: a milder, succulent taste with plenty of both white breast meat and darker thigh meat, and a less game-like flavour than bronze.
Free range means our turkeys have full access to open meadows, woodland and grassy paddocks — John Howe's turkeys range freely from 8 weeks old. Slow-grown means they're reared over a traditional, unhurried timeline on a natural, cereal-based diet rather than being fast-grown for size, which is what gives free range, slow-grown turkey its deeper flavour and firmer texture compared to a standard supermarket bird.
All of our Christmas turkeys are pre-order only, for delivery in the days just before Christmas. Exact delivery dates vary slightly by farm — you'll see the confirmed date for your chosen turkey at checkout.
Every whole turkey from John Howe comes boxed with a recipe card, cooking guide and pop-up timer, so you'll know exactly when it's ready to serve.
