KellyBronze Turkeys at Andrew Gordon Butchery as recommended
by Nigella Lawson, Della Smith and Jamie Oliver.
"KellyBronze is more than a breed, it is a philosophy. It`s
all about rearing a turkey in the best possible way to give you the ultimate eating
experience."
Bred and raised by using traditional farming methods, Kelly Bronze turkeys are free
to roam in pastures, stubble fields and woodland. At night they have the shelter
of open-sided pole barns, with deep straw and plenty of fresh air. The birds are
grown to maturity over several months and fed on locally grown cereals and vegetable
protein - without additives, drugs or growth promoters.
The result is turkey with 'good old fashioned flavour',
beautifully moist and a densely textured meat, its a real treat to eat!
The judges verdict when awarding the Kelly Bronze winner at the BBC GOOD FOOD
AWARDS
"The perfect turkey - full of flavour,
beautifully moist and traditionally reared."
It received top scores across the board, and the judges felt it represented the
very best of British speciality produce.
Andrew Gordons Kelly Bronze turkeys are delivered to his shop from the KellyBronze
set up in Ayreshire, Scotland.
Each turkey comes in its own carry box with cooking instructions and a thermometer
so you can't go wrong. Compared to cheaper turkeys, these KellyBronze cook in about
1 and ahalf hours less if you follow the instructions.
What ever the amount of people you are catering for, there is sure to be a perfect
turkey available for you. These turkeys have a matured aroma and are finished with
a sprig of rosemary.
