Best… Turkey
Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference Norfolk Black turkey parcel
This hefty parcel is no-carve and rather cleverly cuts into neat slices. Wrapped in bacon, this divine parcel of turkey meat, cranberries and stuffing stays succulent.
This mix of turkey, chicken, duck, pheasant, pigeon and partridge is well balanced without being overwhelming. The stuffing in the centre cuts through the meaty blanket in fine fashion.
Pork tenderloin and crispy crackling, plus a hearty pork, sage & onion stuffing – this roll is packed with different tastes and textures and proved very popular with our testers.
This dome-shaped treat will get people talking. The tender cockerel breast meat is wrapped around herby, soft stuffing, adding depth of flavour. Perfect for those looking for something less traditional.
This beautiful piece of game meat is perfect either as a main course for two or three, or as an addition to your larger roast bird, this cut is delicious. We like its simplicity.
We loved the texture of this small bird – the ideal size for two people or to supplement a turkey. The nutty stuffing has great flavour and the bacon was a lovely touch.
