You are cooking it all wrong IMO.
Turkey is  THE meat of any chef on Xmas day.
For s start try lengthning the cooking time and butter baste it, not cheap HAPPY SHOPPER butter, but a good old fashioned salted butter from a good deli like CROSSWOODS, and rest assured you WILL change your mind.

Pigeon was a staple meat of choice for a large percentage of the population until well after the 2nd World War, I wonder why it went out of fashion/favour? :-/

Absolutely. as an ex-cook myself, turkey is always best done slowly and basted well, with  plenty of looks in the oven to check, and GOOD butter.
Di, couldn't agree with you more. a good well done slow roasted turkey beats a "tesco" or similar "basted" turkey or chicken every time.
(guess who has to cook xmas dinner every year since I opened my mouth one year and was told to cook it myself if I could do better??)

No good lizzie..... from experience I can tell you that FOUR birds' breasts will just about make a decent pie.
Oh, and a nice red onion, some thyme, a vegetable oxo cube, and a couple of nice carrots. Bake for about 2 hrs at 120, gas mk 3, and paint the top of the pie with an egg wash, not forgetting to make a little slit in the top to let it vent. Serve with jersey royal potatoes and peas, with a little onion seasoned gravy, followed with real rice pudding with nutmeg and a splash of cinnamon.

Lovely!!

Now where's MY .22 rifle................... :P :P :P

Yeah, slow roasted Bison is lovely albeit a bit rich. Crocodile is similar to Mutton or old pork, but nice done with a good sauce. Try Kangaroo.....very tasty. Oh, and the very best.........Ostrich, roasted and basted like a good turkey.....with 4 good veg (steamed, and al-dente) with a nice chicken stock...........now I'm hungry too, Lizzie!

Reckon Di and me could open a nice bistro or small specialized menu restuarant in wales somewhere!!

share the cooking, and about 40 covers would be manageable, witha nice menu using fresh veg and specialized meat dishes with my mum's puddings.......Mmmmm..........(thinks....)
