Product Description
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.
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.

Whole Bronze Turkey
Another turkey from Copas and another great Christmas dinner! It is the best turkey we've ever had and will be buying again next year!

Bronze Turkey
Was disappointed to find that the turkey was frozen, despite being in a fridge for two days. I wasn't aware that the turkey was going to be frozen and narrowly avoided a Christmas disaster. More communication please! Despite the above, the turkey tasted fine. REPLY: Thanks for the feedback, Paul. Hopefully we won't have the Bird Flu threat that we had in 2022 again, but if we do, we will make sure we communicate better with our customers.

FREE RANGE WHOLE BRONZE TURKEY
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
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
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.

Free Range Whole Bronze Turkey
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
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.
