Want to turn your cook into a chef this Christmas? Guarantee success in the kitchen by starting with the right turkey!

Maintaining the highest welfare standards, the Copas family still use centuries-old production methods (such as raising slow-growing breeds to full adult maturity, plucking by hand and game-hanging for two weeks) to guarantee a deliciously dense, yet succulent meat with a full traditional flavour – no matter what your culinary experience!

The family business is run by three sisters who know a thing or two about getting things right for Christmas day… their turkeys have been described as “fantastic” (the BBC’s Hairy Bikers), “a king amongst turkeys” (Tom Parker-Bowles), “superior & flavoursome” and “incredibly flavourful & moist” (Allegra McEvedy, Economy Gastronomy).

Each Copas turkey comes in its own carry-home box, complete with everything required to cook both the turkey (cooking instructions & a handy pop-up cooking timer) & the gravy (giblets, fresh rosemary and a traditional recipe) perfectly. They even include a recipe for Turkey Soup to add further value to your purchase!

Offering something for every household, the Copas Very Very Special range comprises Whole Turkeys, Turkey Crowns and Turkey Breast Roasts, whilst the full Christmas eating 'experience' is completed by a delicious award-winning range of accompaniments, hampers and even gift vouchers – perfect gifts for foodies!

"They are the best turkeys I have ever had. I followed your cooking instructions to the letter & the turkey was perfect, succulent, tasteful & enjoyed by all"
Mrs Adeboyeku, 2008
