BUYING THE RIGHT SIZE TURKEY
The general recommendation is that you allow approximately 1-1&1/2lb per person on the bone for the main dinner which will also give a little left over for sandwiches.
Depending on how many other Turkey derivative dinners you wish to have we suggest, for one main meal and a little meal
10lb (4.5 Kg) serves 6 people comfortably with a little over
12 lb (5.5 Kg) serves 7 to 8
14lb (6.5 Kg) serves 8 to 9
16lb (7.25Kg) serves 9 to 10

KEEPING YOUR TURKEY FRESH
The Turkeys are kept at 0 degrees centigrade on the farm before despatch. We will Place your Turkey into an Insulated Box along with ice cells to keep it below 5 degrees during its journey to you. Once you have received your Turkey please remove it from its packaging. Remove the giblets and neck from the cavity. Either freeze these straight away or cook them to start your stock for gravy. Place the Turkey in the bottom of your refrigerator on a plate. Keep the temperature below 5 degrees at all times. If necessary refreeze the ice packs that were in the box and then put them over the bird, to ensure the temperature is maintained. At a temperature of 5 degrees or below the Turkey will stay fresh for a minimum of 7 days.
