Should I buy a whole Christmas turkey or turkey crown?

Wondering whether you need a full free range turkey for your Christmas feast? It’s important to consider the size of your party and cooking preferences first. A whole turkey includes breasts, wings, thighs, and drumsticks and makes an impressive impression! It’s ideal for larger groups who prefer the traditional Christmas turkey look, however, it requires more oven space, a longer cooking time, and great carving skills.

If you don’t need a full turkey, you can still get all the deliciousness without the added time and effort. Turkey crowns consist of only the breast on the bone making it easier and quicker to cook and carve. A turkey crown provides mostly white meat which means it lacks the darker meat, however the preparation and cooking process is much simpler.

How do I carve my Christmas turkey properly?
