Alternative Christmas roast recipes

Not a fan of turkey or just fancy doing something different this year? Browse our alternative Christmas roast recipes for some new festive inspiration. Choose from beef, game, chicken, goose  and showstopping vegetarian dishes.

If you want to stay along the lines of traditional, we’ve got easy twists like our air fryer festive traybake, roast chicken with comté sauce, or Christmas roast goose.

Want something completely different? Herby tamarind lamb with baked jollof rice takes things to the next level. Serve curried lamb shanks with roast potatoes, or try pernil (Puerto Rican slow-roasted pork). Got the savoury side of things sorted? Satisfy your sweet tooth with our best Christmas baking recipes.

Our Glow Up mini recipes, including a luscious sage and nutmeg garlic butter to rub under the turkey’s skin or toss with veg, are a great way to jazz up your festive alternatives too.
