Default Morrisons Organic Turkey £147

[A picture of the Morrisons' 7kg The Best
Organic Bronze Turkey serving eight to 12 people
went viral on Reddit yesterday]


I understand it is pure Free Range
but the price is crazy.


['This is also a huge bird. £20 a kilo for good
quality meat isn't all that crazy.

'If I was paying that much I would prefer
to go through a butcher I trust,
but that's just me.]

That surely has to be a misprint on Morrison's behalf?

My mum used to make chicken for Christmas dinner.
Everyone just preferred it to turkey.

I thought £27.99 was expensive enough when I bought an "extra-large" one on Tuesday.

Quail, goose, duck and grouse are other meats that are a lot tastier than turkey, to be honest. I do love my turkey but if I had to put a particular occasion/time of year on it it would be October (thanksgiving traditions from the States might have something to do with it). For Christmas you might as well just go with whatever meat you fancy/tastes better to you. It don't have to be turkey every year.

It's not goose or even duck, nor is Morrisons Waitrose (as nice as it is in its own right). How are they going to be selling a meat that's going to end up dry on the Christmas table for £150?

Alot less.


But this year Bird Flu
has made all stock worse.


But some farmers are feeding their Turkeys
Quality Feed
So Organic means well above your standard stock.

It's a bit mad but.... it's a "luxury version" so it's not like anyone has to buy it. It's no more "crazy" than a £100 bottle of wine or a £500 bottle of Whisky .

We're just getting a big ol' chicken this year though. Usually do Turkey but it's just 5 of us this year and you suddenly realise --- everyone whose going to be there prefers chicken (and gammon which will also be on) and the only reason you're getting a turkey at all would be "cos it's Christmas". Pointless really.
