The turkey was 8kg. The crown from it would have happily fed the 6 planned. With just 3 of us (Covid related reasons for the other 3 not being with us) we had loads left over for sandwiches, two lots of ready made roast meals in the freezer, soup and other left over recipes.
Similar to last year:
Turkey crown, neck stuffed with apricot and sausage meat (legs boned and stuffed and in freezer for roasting later in the years).
Stir fried sprouts and chestnuts
Carrots braised with butter
Leeks and peas
And roast potatoes and parsnips of course.
I also made the Jamie Oliver Simple vegetarian stuffing which was due to go with a vegetarian wellington. As the vegetarian wasn't with us we have lots of the stuffing left over. Probably wouldn't make again, as in look for a different one for next year.
