Add some greens or a slice of cheese for extra indulgence. The possibilities are endless, and the result is always delicious.
Turkey Soups and Stews: Comfort in a Bowl
As the weather turns cooler, a hearty turkey soup or stew is the perfect comfort food. Utilise leftover Copas turkey to create a rich broth, adding vegetables and herbs for depth of flavour. Whether it’s a classic turkey and vegetable soup or a spicy turkey chilli, these dishes are sure to warm you from the inside out.

Bring some zest to your weeknight dinners with turkey tacos. Shred cooked Copas turkey and season with your favourite spices. Fill soft tortillas with the seasoned turkey, and top with fresh salsa, avocado, and a squeeze of lime. It’s a quick, flavour-packed meal that’s perfect for any day of the week.
Turkey Stir-Fries: Quick and Versatile
For a speedy and healthy meal, try a turkey stir-fry. Slice Copas turkey breast into thin strips and fry with a medley of colourful vegetables. Add a savoury sauce—like soy, ginger, and garlic—and serve over rice or noodles. This dish is not only quick to prepare but also packed with nutrients and flavour.
Creative Twists: Think Outside the Box
Don’t hesitate to experiment with Copas turkey in different cuisines. Incorporate it into Mediterranean dishes like turkey gyros or use it as a filling for hearty pies and pastries. Its lean, succulent meat adapts beautifully to a wide range of cooking methods and flavour profiles.
Health Benefits of Turkey
Turkey isn’t just delicious; it’s also a nutritious choice that fits beautifully into a balanced lifestyle.
Turkey Nutrition at a Glance
Lean, high in protein, and naturally low in fat, turkey is a fantastic option for those looking to eat healthily without sacrificing flavour. A typical 100-gram serving of roasted turkey breast contains around 30 grams of protein yet only about 160 calories.
It’s also rich in B vitamins such as niacin, B6, and B12, which are essential for energy production and brain function. Minerals like selenium, zinc, and phosphorus further boost its health credentials — supporting everything from immune function to bone health.
Protein-Packed Goodness
For those who lead active lifestyles, Copas turkey is a brilliant way to increase protein intake. Its complete protein profile provides all nine essential amino acids, vital for muscle growth, repair, and overall well-being.
Turkey is also a natural source of tryptophan, which plays a role in serotonin production — helping to support mood and general well-being. It makes Copas free-range turkey not only a wholesome meal but one that contributes to feeling good, inside and out.
At Copas Farm Shop, our passion is producing turkey that’s not only delicious but nourishing too. We love seeing how our customers make the most of it in every season — whether that’s a light salad on a sunny afternoon, a protein boost after the gym, or a comforting stew on a chilly evening. However, you choose to enjoy it, Copas turkey brings flavour, versatility, and farm-fresh goodness to everyday meals all year round.
