Christmas 2018 | Morton’s Norfolk Turkey

Christmas is a time full of traditions, old and new. Spending a day putting up the decorations, filling Christmas Eve boxes, wrapping presents, finding any excuse to drink a bit of mulled wine and best of all… food. Specifically turkey.

Morton’s Norfolk Turkey For Christmas

For as long as I can remember I’ve had turkey for Christmas dinner. I don’t think there’s a Christmas that’s gone by where I haven’t eaten it, and I can hardly imagine Christmas without it. And I’m sure that there are millions of people out there that feel the same. It’s just tradition – despite goose being the bird of choice years and years ago.

Morton’s Traditional Taste

Last year we got a turkey from Morton’s Traditional Taste and it was utterly sensational; so much so that we’ll be eating our Christmas turkey from there again this year.

They’re a small production farm who aim to provide quality over quantity when it comes to their poultry. Rearing high quality batches of poultry that taste just how they should; flavoursome, gamey and succulent. Morton’s turkeys are free-range and can often be found in the trees (who knew turkeys were woodland birds?), roaming around and expressing all their natural behaviours.

When the time comes they are much better cared for, in a humane way, and this ensures everything is stress free. Including how it gets to your door. You can hardly complain at a locally reared, free-range bird being delivered to my door in time for Christmas.

Morton’s don’t just do turkeys though; you’ll also find ducks, chickens and geese which would all make for perfect meat choices over the festive period. And just think about what you can do with the leftovers; curry all the way for us!
