People who like to enjoy fresh turkey as the centrepiece of their Christmas dinner should make a date in the diary for 19 December, when Central England Co-operative’s fresh turkeys land in stores.
Customers can choose from succulent Co-op Fresh British Small Whole Turkey (2-3.04kg), £17.50, tasty Co-op Fresh British Medium Turkey Breast Crown (1.9-2.49kg), £24.00 or for those entertaining lots of guests this year, opt for the Co-op Fresh British Large Turkey Breast Crown (2.5-2.99kg) at £28.00.
Kev Morris, manager at the Atherstone Food Store, said “Central England Co-op starts planning for Christmas in January each year to ensure our customers can have the best fresh turkey on the Christmas dinner table. We know that food provenance is important to our customers and they can buy for the main event with the assurance that our turkeys are 100% British and are all Red Tractor welfare assured.”
The Red Tractor mark means that customers are buying food they can trust, and that they are providing support and security for British farmers. Central England Co-op turkeys are raised on farms in Norfolk and their journey to the Christmas dinner table is designed so that food miles are kept to a minimum.
Everything people need for a festive feast will be at their local Central England Co-op store, including all the expected accompaniments.
