White Turkey: A Classic Choice for a Festive Christmas Roast

For a lighter, milder alternative to the traditional Bronze Turkey, a White Turkey is a fantastic choice for your Christmas dinner. Known for its tender, lean meat and delicate flavour, a free-range White Turkey is perfect for families who enjoy a classic roast without compromising on quality.

At Farmfetch, we source our White Turkeys from trusted British farms, like John Howe in Kent, where the birds are raised with care and allowed to roam freely. These slow-grown, free-range turkeys benefit from a natural diet and spacious outdoor life, giving meat that is succulent, juicy, and full of character.

Why choose a White Turkey?

White Turkeys are prized for their subtle flavour and fine-grained meat. Their lighter taste pairs beautifully with traditional Christmas trimmings — think sage and onion stuffing, rich gravy, and seasonal vegetables. Unlike heritage breeds, White Turkeys tend to produce more uniform, lean meat, making them ideal for roasting, carving, and serving to a crowd.

How to cook the perfect White Turkey

For the best results, roast your White Turkey slowly at a moderate temperature. Rub the skin with butter or olive oil, season well, and baste regularly to ensure golden, crispy skin. Rest the bird after cooking to lock in the juices and enhance tenderness.

A White Turkey is versatile and forgiving, making it a reliable option for your festive feast. Pair it with roast potatoes, cranberry sauce, and a rich gravy for the perfect Christmas turkey dinner.

Choosing a White Turkey from Farmfetch means bringing quality, provenance, and free-range goodness to your table — a classic choice that your family will love year after year.
