Cooking the meat on the bone helps retain moisture and enhances flavour, resulting in beautifully juicy slices with crisp, golden skin. It's an excellent option for smaller gatherings, those who favour breast meat, or anyone looking for a simpler alternative to a whole turkey without compromising on quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFree Range and Herb Fed for Outstanding Flavour\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Bronze Turkeys are reared on British farms to high welfare standards, where they enjoy the freedom to roam between spacious barns and open paddocks throughout the day. They spend their time exploring, foraging and enjoying a carefully balanced diet that's naturally supplemented with freshly cut herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unique combination of free-range farming and our distinctive herb-fed approach helps produce premium British turkey with exceptional flavour, succulent texture and the quality that makes every festive meal memorable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEasy to Cook, Simple to Carve\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurkey crowns are quicker to cook than a whole bird, making them ideal for a relaxed Christmas Day or any special family celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the best results, cook your turkey crown using our recommended turkey cooking times as a guide.

Once the main feathers have been removed, the bird is treated with food-safe warm wax, which is allowed to cool before being gently peeled away. This removes the fine feathers while helping to preserve the natural quality of the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry plucking has been used by traditional poultry farmers for generations because it helps maintain the skin's texture, allowing it to roast beautifully while helping the meat stay wonderfully succulent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Note About Pin Feathers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause every turkey crown is individually hand finished rather than heavily processed, you may occasionally notice the odd\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003epin feather (sometimes called a pen feather). These are tiny, undeveloped feathers that can remain after preparation and are often more noticeable because they're naturally dark in colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is perfectly normal for traditionally prepared poultry and simply reflects our commitment to traditional craftsmanship. There's no need to spend time removing them before cooking - they naturally frazzle away during roasting and are completely harmless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCarefully Prepared for Your Christmas Table\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eHerb Fed Bronze Turkey Crown is individually boxed and carefully packed to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach order includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA premium free-range Herb Fed Bronze Turkey Crown\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVacuum-packed giblets (included in the stated weight)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA packet of fresh Christmas herbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasy-to-follow cooking instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur favourite recipe for the Perfect Christmas Stuffing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur turkey crowns are supplied with the wing attached to the first joint, helping to retain moisture during cooking while creating an attractive traditional presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Premium Centrepiece for a Special Occasion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Herb Fed Poultry, we believe exceptional festive meals begin with exceptional ingredients.
