If your bird has been delivered fresh, take it out of its wrapping.
Place your bird on a wire rack or a plate and place it on the bottom of your fridge.
Make sure you leave space around your bird to allow the air to circulate and ensure it stays dry.
Keep hold of your card label for the 'best before' date and the weight of your bird. We recommend you leave your meat at room temperature for a few hours before cooking.
If your bird has been delivered frozen, you can pop it straight into the freezer until you are ready to use it.
Depending on the size of your bird, you'll want to allow plenty of time to defrost it.
Remove from its packaging then put your bird on a wire rack or on a plate and place it at the bottom of the fridge.
Make sure you leave space around your bird to allow the air to circulate and ensure it stays dry.
For large birds, allow two to three days to defrost in the fridge. For small birds (Simplest Turkey, Breast and Crowns), one to two days will be fine.
We recommend you leave your meat at room temperature for a few hours before cooking.
