CHRISTMAS TURKEY CLASS
Celebrate Christmas in style by preparing a spectacular free-range turkey to enjoy on the big day.
We’ll welcome you with our famous Christmas sausage roll, before our experienced butchers take you through
everything you need to know to prepare your own Christmas turkey centrepiece.
In this class you’ll learn important butchery skills you’ll be able to use time and time again at home to prepare
many kinds of poultry for cooking. First, you will remove, bone out and stuff the turkey legs and roll them into a
neat joint, ready for braising or slow roasting on the big day itself.
You’ll then prepare a magnificent turkey crown, adding a layer of buttery chestnut stuffing and a proper bacon
lattice, which will baste the meat as it cooks. You’ll also prepare your own pigs-in-blankets…because it just isn’t
Christmas without them.
Each attendee will take home the stuffed legs, festive crown and 8 pigs-in-blankets, plus the giblets and bones
from your bird for making stock if you wish – all of which can be frozen ready for the big day.
A huge job ticked off your Christmas list, and a sure-fire way to impress your loved ones.
