Product Description

For those who want something a little smaller we have our bronze crowns, a whole turkey but with legs & dark meat removed. The same delicious award-winning free range whole bronze turkey with plenty of juicy meat and a rich traditional flavour. Our turkeys truly are the cream of the coop, free range, hand plucked and game hung for two weeks.

We choose bronze breed turkeys for their award-winning flavour and texture, but this does mean that sometimes their feather stubs are visible. Our birds are dry plucked by hand, we don’t blast them with water, so you might find a few more feather stubs than on commercial turkeys, but this is normal. Please do not spend time pulling these out as most will burn off during cooking, and those that don’t are much easier to remove once the bird comes out of the oven.

Each bird comes boxed with giblets, recipe leaflet & handy pop-up timer.

Full of flavour and easy to carve, each crown arrives boxed with giblets, recipe leaflet & pop-up timer.

Cooking Instructions

  • Remove your turkey from fridge & place in a roasting pan at room temperature for as long as comfortable with. It saves cooking time and oven energy, preheat oven to 180°C / 160°C Fan / Gas 4.
  • Remove trussing band and season your bird liberally with salt inside & out. Insert Pop-Up Timer into the thickest part of the breast.
  • Place in oven at 180°C for approximately 20 minutes per kg.
  • To get the gravy going… Approx. 20-30 mins before end of cook add 600ml-1000ml (depending on size of roasting tray) to roasting pan. This lifts the gnarly bits, makes a tasty jus and helps clean the pan.
  • As soon as thickest part of turkey breast hits 68°C or the timer pops, take the turkey out of oven to rest. The oven is now free for roast potatoes!
  • Leave turkey to rest for up to 1 hour uncovered. Minimum 30 minutes. Your turkey will continue to cook with the residual heat but not overcook. Don’t cover if you want crispy skin! (Tom Copas doesn’t cover his turkey!).
  • Turkey tips: Keep it simple. No need to flip your bird. No need to baste a Copas turkey. No need to cover with foil.

    Posted by Damian O’Grady on 1st Jan 2023

    Our first Copas Turkey … and just THE best Turkey I have ever eaten and cooked. I would travel 50 miles for this turkey, just brilliant…I cooked in a roasting bag with a lattice of streaky bacon….it was even succulent the next day…. Bravo … will be ordering next year

    Excellent Quality

    Posted by Camilla on 1st Jan 2023

    Delicious turkey. Dry brined it the day before with some herbs and cooked as per instructions. The best turkey I have cooked. Slightly on the small side (ordered medium) and it was just below the threshold so should really have been charged for a small but the portions were still generous and given the difficulties turkey farmers have faced this year I wasn't going to make a fuss. Will definitely order the crown again. Failproof for an inexperienced turkey cooker!

    Quality Christmas

    A perfect turkey crown , succulent, extremely tasty - cannot recommend highly enough - particularly in view of bird flu restrictions and the additional husbandry of the turkeys needed. Well done Copas Traditional Turkeys.
