Allergens

Storage & Defrosting
Keep refrigerated between 0°C and 5°C and consume by the use-by date shown on the product label.
Suitable for home freezing. Freeze on or before the use-by date.
If frozen, defrost thoroughly in the refrigerator before cooking. Whole turkeys can take a considerable amount of time to defrost, particularly the larger sizes, so make sure you allow plenty of time.
Once completely defrosted, cook within 24 hours and do not refreeze.
Cooking Your Turkey
Remove all outer packaging before cooking.
Preheat your oven to 180°C / Fan 160°C / Gas 4 and place the turkey in a roasting tin. Cover loosely with foil during cooking, removing the foil towards the end to allow the skin to colour.
Cooking time will depend on the weight of your turkey, so always check the weight of your bird and follow the cooking guidance supplied.
Cooking times are a guide only. Always check that your turkey is thoroughly cooked before serving.
Insert a clean food thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding the bone, and ensure it has reached a minimum core temperature of 75°C. The meat should be steaming hot throughout, with no pink meat remaining and the juices running clear.
Once cooked, allow your turkey to rest before carving. This helps the meat retain its juices and gives you time to finish the rest of Christmas dinner.

Don’t throw away the carcass after Christmas dinner. It’s brilliant for making a rich homemade turkey stock – perfect for soup, gravy or making the most of those Christmas leftovers.
