Turkey recipes
Turkey is for life, not just for Christmas. Discover our whole range of succulent turkey recipes, that go way beyond just roasting the big bird.
Turkey mince is a weeknight hero. It makes a lean, budget-friendly alternative to beef mince. Try it in our turkey bolognese bake, speedy chilli stir-fry, or to make juicy turkey burgers or turkey mince smash burgers. Turkey meatballs, goulash or Parmesan turkey steaks are all easy dishes to add to your midweek rotation, as is turkey schnitzel with cranberry ketchup. Plus, slow cooker turkey leg is a winner.
Of course, we’ve got all your Christmas turkey needs covered, too. From turkey crown recipes for a small gathering to crowd-pleasing roasts, we’ve got plenty of festive recipes, and delicious ideas for using up turkey leftovers, too.
