Name the one thing all Christmas feasts cannot miss – are you thinking turkey too? Here are our picks this festive season!
Therre are three elements that make (or break) a turkey – the presentation, the size and most importantly, the stuffing. Now in recent years, chefs have become more experimental. Instead of the standard stuffing, we see more and more creative, new ingredients joining the repertoire. One of our turkeys features foie gras! How about that?
Ritz-Carlton Christmas Turkey
Packing at an impressive 4kg, this roasted turkey is served with chestnut, apple and celery stuffing, roasted vegetables, pumpkin, carrots, onions, squah, herb-roasted new potatoes and topped off with cranberry sauce and gravy. Sounds like quite a healthy mouthful! We like the splash of colors provided by the fruits.
