Roast Turkey |
This year we did our Turkey dinner on Boxing Day, so that we could have the whole family together. After previous turkey dinners, I think I've honed my family's perfect Christmas turkey dinner...

Christmas Cake
We did all the cooking over a leisurely afternoon, and then sat down and stuffed our faces, hehe! I've blogged all of these items before, so I'll just show some brief "in-progress" pictures.
Here's our turkey, a 6.3kg free range beauty from Rendinas Butchery. (They finally have a website! Those of you who followed me during the Sarah Discovers How to Eat blog will remember that I would buy meat from them all the time).

Thank-you to my cousin Barry for the delicious DP.
We had Christmas cake for dessert, and that was that.
Merry Christmas everybody! Hope you've all enjoyed the holidays!

Oh gosh, your chestnut stuffing looks so different to the one I posted today that it's hard to believe they're the same species of cooked good!
ReplyDeleteLovely burnished turkey, too. Bravo indeed!
Wow, dom perignon 1996! Must be great to have it with that lovely roast turkey of yours!
