Let’s talk turkey…

Not very seasonal, but that’s the problem. Going back to last December, there was anxiety about Bird Flu which made me think there might have been a shortage of turkeys for Christmas. In my panic I bought a frozen one from our local supermarket “just in case”. A couple of weeks later I came across a fresh stuffed turkey breast, which is our bird of choice – meaning our frozen one was not needed. It’s been in the freezer since then – till I decided to use it on Easter Sunday. What a mistake. Easter means lamb not turkey. Did I enjoy it? Not a bit. It didn’t have much flavour and was quite tough, so I won’t do that again and need to be brave – just trust there will be a fresh one, even if we wait till the last minute to find one!
