I always have a quorn joint. I dont like nut roast. My husband has a chicken and shares it with the cats.I’ve been veggie since I was a teen so never had to buy one- parents hate turkey so was always a nice roast lamb on the menu! How about taking inspo from other countries’ Xmas dinners? Turkey isn’t a thing in other countries and lamb, goose, pork feature as the main dishes. I think if I were a meat lover my ideal Xmas dinner would be something like a Beef Wellington or lamb with rosemary.
Goose is a very nice alternative to Turkey. You can roast the potatoes in the goose fat and they are delicious. In fact ordinarily that is what I use to roast my spuds.Bad news, can't order a Turkey for xmas, according to my branch of Sainsbury's they haven't taken orders for 2 weeks.
Other supermarkets have the same problem.
So if we can't get one by the 22nd Dec it will be a Roast Lamb on xmas day..
If you can't get a Turkey, what will you have instead?
I cook turkey the Phil Vickery way - it is really steaming it - and takes way less time. Only having a crown this year but same mode of cooking.I don't get the whole turkey thing at all. It's a cheap meat that no one eats for the rest of the year and the whole focus is the stop the thing drying out.
Shame really, would be nice to have a turkey a few times over the year.I don't get the whole turkey thing at all. It's a cheap meat that no one eats for the rest of the year and the whole focus is the stop the thing drying out.
Why though? It’s dry and a pain to cookShame really, would be nice to have a turkey a few times over the year.
