  • You cannot beat our slow-grown, game hung, Great Taste award-winning Properly Free-Range Bronze Turkey, which has been voted the Best Christmas Turkey by Good Housekeeping.

    Our Properly Free Range Half Turkey has an incredible flavour and beautifully tender meat. Our turkey is known to convince even the toughest Turkey critic, it is simply sublime. 

    We believe the wonderful depth of flavour of our old fashioned Turkeys comes from the healthy life they lead. Our Properly Free Range Half Turkey is the perfect size for smaller gatherings.

    How we Rear our Free Range Turkeys

    Our Properly Free Range Turkeys are all 'Bronze' birds, a traditional slow-growing breed that thrive living outdoors amongst grassy pasture. 

    We rear our Turkeys on 5 small scale family farms in Devon and Somerset. From the top of Dartmoor to a stunning cider apple farm in deepest Devon, the environment that our Turkeys live in is outstanding.

    Our Free Range Turkeys have plenty of space in which to thrive. They are reared in a healthy outdoor environment surrounded by rolling hills where they build up natural immunity and can freely exhibit all their natural instincts, running around grassy pastures, digging for worms and plucking deep-rooted pasture from the soil. 

    Our Free Range Bronze Turkeys are fed a totally natural diet, free of artificial additives and chemicals just straightforward cereals, grass, nettles, fodder beet and cider apples. We allow them to grow slowly so they can reach natural maturity.

    Our traditional Properly Free Range Bronze Turkeys live a properly free-range life.

    To further develop the stunning flavour of our Free Range Turkey, and give you meat at its very best, our birds are dry-plucked individually by hand. We then hang each bird for at least 12 days, creating a beautiful Game Hung Turkey.

  • 100% Free Range Turkey

  • Preheat your oven to 190°C/180°C fan/gas 5. Bring your turkey crown to room temperature.

    Cook your turkey crown for approximately 25 minutes per kg.

    Add some butter to keep it moist. Cover the turkey with a loose tent of foil, which will help stop it drying out. Remove the foil 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, put the temperature up to 200°C/190°C fan/gas 6.

    Baste the turkey with its own juices. Insert a skewer into the thickest part of the crown when you think it’s cooked. If it’s cooked, the juices should run clear rather than pink. If it’s not, put it back in the oven and check it with the skewer regularly.

    Give your bird plenty of time to rest, say 30-40 minutes at room temperature. The ensures the gorgeous juices will stay in the meat rather than run all over your carving board, but be sure to catch any that do emerge and add to your gravy.

    The roasting tin may no longer hold the meat but there is so much value left behind. Simply add a pot or two of our pure turkey stock and a good glug of wine then stir to release the hidden treasures.
