Friends,
Firstly, a big hello here from sunny ol' England.
I would be very grateful for some expertise and guidance on the following. I am a member on other forums but I feel this one would be more suited to the targetted advice I need.
I always cook turkey for Christmas and this year is no different. I always use a trusted supplier who offer a number of different breeds and for the past five years have gone for a 9kg Norfolk Black.
This year I wish to sample a smaller bird of around 5Kg but also a different breed and have narrowed my choice down to either a Bourbon Red, Lavender or a Narragansett. These are the only breeds available and are all free range organic.
I would be very appreciative indeed of anyone who has tasted any of these or better still tasted all three and could give their thoughts on the different tastes that each breed gives. I am good at cooking turkey so am not worried by a turkey that requires really precise cooking to avoid dryness. I am soley focussing on the taste of the bird (which I know is subjective)
Many thanks
