Default £4:99 M&S Turkey dinner for one with sprouts : Oven Cook



[MARKS & SPENCER ROAST

TURKEY DINNER

£4.99 for 420g

PER MEAL: 505 cals, 6.3g sat fat, 2.00g salt

WHAT YOU GET: Four slices of turkey with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, pigs in blankets, pork stuffing, sprouts and carrots.

EASE: This was the only ready meal to leave me slightly red-faced with effort.
Take the potatoes out, pop them on a baking tray, then pierce film and cook vegetables
and turkey and gravy . . . still following? After another five minutes, pop your pigs in blankets
and stuffing balls on to the baking tray . . . finally, pop the Yorkshire pudding on, too.

TASTE: Is it worth this extra effort? Well, there are only three small potatoes,
two small pigs in blankets and one stuffing ball — but they are all delicious.
The generous serving of turkey is moist, the gravy is a deep brown and the meal looks tasty
on the plate. In fact, the sprouts and carrots are so firm and fresh it is hard to believe
they came from a readymeal pack. A true Christmas cracker!

9/10 ]

That Link Reviews many meals
only this one got the High Score.


I agree with the review
its a stages cook
which means you have to do potatoes first,
and Yorkshire Pudding on the last 5mins
but it tastes very good

But the Quality is
high enough for Josy

The quality is not nearly high enough for kizzy actually.

My daughter makes an excellent meal on christmas day I look forward to it every year as it's the ONLY meal she cooks.

I don't eat stuffing, yorkshire pudding or sausage either.

OK
in that case Not Good Enough For You.


These meals are to make a change during
this next month
in now way does it replace a family meal.

I think your Daughter
may see the Quality in this meal , though

No she really wouldn't,she can peel spuds, chop carrots and roast meat to perfection so some gelatinous frozen microwavable slop is not really her thang.

Stop being so f'ing bone idle and cook your own Christmas roast


Do you work for M&S Arista? you're always advertising for them

which is why it costs more

No I do Not

I am working
and a Quality Meal helps me.



I do not have the time to do my own


I cooked it today and found a review on loads of them.
This page is only to help some , who may not have time to cook
