Hosting Thanksgiving or Christmas at your house and wondering where to buy a turkey in Singapore? You might prefer to get one ready-cooked, or thawed, brined and stuffed for easy cooking. You can actually personalise and pre-order your entire Christmas dinner menu online – everything from turkeys to homemade sausages, roast beef, sides, and more. Here are some of our top spots for takeaway turkeys and butchers with festive fare.
Ready cooked turkeys
Put together the perfect holiday spread with these ready-to-cook turkeys and roasts.
When it comes to a Christmas and Thanksgiving centrepiece, nothing is quite as iconic as the traditional roast turkey with a moreish stuffing and all the fixings. While homemade roast turkeys are a point of pride, the entire process of preparing the dish can be a daunting one – especially when you consider making time for all the other holiday season classics.
Today, ordering in your holiday bird is a popular frustration-free option that saves you time. And, if you’re concerned about keeping that rustic home-cooked feel, online butchery Meat Co. has just the turkey for you. Their birds are prepared entirely in-house in the traditional way – that is, in a cold vat of brine with aromatic natural herbs, salt and peppercorn, and with no nitrates used. After this laborious process, the turkeys are stuffed with a delightfully savoury mushroom and chestnut stuffing, and then trussed for an even cook. Come Christmas or Thanksgiving, the only thing you’ll need to do is pop it in the oven.
Turkey isn’t the only holiday-ready dish you can order from Meat Co. The butchery also offers classics like a 1.4kg Victorian lamb crown roast ($115), a 4.5kg bone-in gammon ham ($155), and a 1kg barley-fed ribeye roast ($105). Paired with a turkey, these hearty dishes will complete your meat selections for any get-together. Orders can be placed online and free next-day delivery is available for orders above $80.
Tips for how to cook a turkey
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure a perfectly cooked turkey every time.
- Skip the basting – opening the kitchen door repeatedly results in a loss of heat and a less even cook.
- Bake on a bed of vegetables to sort out your side dishes at the same time.
- Cook stuffed turkeys for an additional 15 minutes.
- Let the turkey rest for at least an hour before carving so it remains moist.
