What is a saddle?

What is a saddle?

Cranstons sell turkey saddles rather than the crowns sold by the supermarkets. You get a higher % of meat with a saddle and less bone as our butchers have expertly removed the wings and back bone leaving just a small amount of breast bone and lots of succulent breast meat.

Christmas tips from James Cranston

Senior Commercial Manager at Cranstons

Plan ahead: I like to map out where and when everything will go in the oven and on the hobs. This includes checking the turkey fits in the oven and assigning roasting trays to each veg and side dish.

Prep in advance: Save time by preparing as much as possible the day before — think gravy base, veggies, and stu ng.

Cook with a thermometer: When roasting a turkey, a meat thermometer is the best way to be sure that it's cooked. Make sure it reaches 76 degrees. Don't forget to factor in resting time according to the size of the bird.

Fire up the BBQ: I've been ridiculed for this, but a BBQ makes a great extra oven. Cranstons pigs in blankets come in foil trays, which can go straight on the grill, with minimal clean-up afterwards.

Share the load: No one person is responsible for the whole day in our house. Each of us chips in with a dish, dessert or decorations and we try our best not to fall out!

Leftover brunch: Blitz yesterday's veg in a food processor for "bubble and squeak", whip up a cheese board toastie or create your own Cranstons Christmas baguette!
