We offer delicious award-winning free-range whole bronze turkeys that are packed with juicy meat and have a rich traditional flavour. Our turkeys are truly the best of the best, being free-range, hand-plucked, and game-hung for two weeks.

We select 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, and we do not blast them with water, so you might find a few more feather stubs than on commercial turkeys. However, this is completely normal. Please do not spend time pulling these out as most of them will burn off during cooking.

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

Limited FROZEN TURKEYS available year round.

    FREE RANGE WHOLE BRONZE TURKEY

    Posted by Caroline Eddie on 7th Jan 2023

    Have been ordering our turkey from Copas for a number of years now but had this been the first we certainly would not be ordering again. I appreciate that this year the turkeys could not be sent fresh but this turkey did not seem to be freshly frozen. We got the impression we had been sent an old turkey. The flavour pf the breast meat was good but the leg/dark meat was extremely tough and unpalatable. Very disappointed this year and feel that it was not worth the price we paid. REPLE: Hi Caroline, sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your turkey. They were all processed in November & deep chilled for a couple of weeks, but we did copious tests to check quality & shelf life wouldn't be affected.

    Turkey 2022 - not so good

    Posted by Charles Ashworth on 6th Jan 2023

    Have used Copas for a good few years then bought locally - went back this year and was disappointed to get a turkey with 100's of black quills in the bird. Tried to get them out with no joy. REPLY: As we pluck by hand, our birds do sometimes have more stubs than commercial birds that are "jetwashed" with water. Having said that, it sounds like yours was extreme & should not have passed quality control. We do have a blog post about not getting the tweezers out & letting the oven burn off most of the feather stubs during cooking.

    Queue times were badly managed

    Posted by sarah power on 5th Jan 2023

    The excitement of the turkey pick up was hampered by over 1 hour sitting in a queue. Something definitely wasnt working with your system this year. REPLY: Thanks for the feedback Sarah. We will be reviewing timings and increasing parking spaces for 2023.

    Absolutely beautiful. Moist and delicious. I have bought Copas turkeys for years, and they never disappoint. I usually buy through our local butcher, but this year I had to order online and have delivered to my daughter. Delivery was perfect. Thank you.

    Large free range bronze turkey

    Posted by Julia Crabb on 4th Jan 2023

    Each Christmas I order a turkey from Copas because, although pricey, they have proved to be easily the best turkeys on the market even so this year’s turkey was voted by my family and guests to be the most flavoursome, succulent bird ever.

    6.5 Turkey

    Posted by Caroline Crean on 4th Jan 2023

    I ordered this bird in a bit of a panic after all the news scares re bird ‘flu and an online search. I was a little anxious, but there was no need - everything from ordering to delivery was perfect but, best of all, were the comments on how succulent and tasty the bird was. Yes, it is expensive, but it was absolutely worth every penny and I shall be buying my turkeys from Copas for evermore and recommending them to all. Absolutely delicious! Well done on a great product.

1. Insert the pop-up cooking timer into the breast of the bird.
2. Remove our traceability wing label and place your turkey, breast side down in a roasting tin.
3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper then cover with foil.
4. Cook at the starting temperature (220ºC / 200ºFan / 430ºF / Gas Mark 7) for 30 minutes then reduce the oven to the roasting temperature (180ºC / 160ºFan / 375ºF / Gas Mark 4) for the remainder of the cooking time.
5. Remove the foil approximately 30 minutes before the end to allow the skin to brown.
6. Remove the turkey from the oven once the Pop-Up Timer pops, or your meat thermometer reads 68 degrees, Cover the bird with foil & allow to rest for up to an hour.
