“Who knew this is what Turkey is supposed to taste like”
– Liam K., KellyBronze convert
Discover the best of Essex when it comes to Christmas turkeys.
We’ve been rearing Christmas turkeys here on the farm, in Chelmsford, for over 30 years and the KellyBronze has become the turkey we compare all turkeys to. We’re chuffed that our turkeys have been gracing Christmas tables in the local areas of Chelmsford, Great Dunmow, Felsted, Broomfield, the Walthams, Pleshey, Great Leighs, Writtle, Roxwell and Beaulieu for over 15 years.
The farming methods and ease of cooking are what sets a KellyBronze apart – slow to grow but quick to cook. Order a KellyBronze Christmas turkey for this year’s festive feast and we’ll provide you with an oven ready turkey and instructions on how to cook it to ensure you and your guests have the ultimate, fuss-free, locally-produced turkey.
It’s a unique chain of events that produce a KellyBronze
-
Slow and in season
The KellyBronze Christmas turkey is reared in sync with the natural season. Free ranging in woodland and living as nature intended, with lots of exercise and a natural diet of corn, soya and foraged food.
-
Bred to be wild
It’s in the genetics, a KellyBronze isn’t just a way of rearing a turkey it starts before conception – in the breeding. You get an unmatched approach of egg to table with the KellyBronze and it results in a truly unique eating experience.
-
More mature = more flavour
KellyBronze Christmas turkeys are over twice the age of a standard intensive turkey - doubling the farming costs but quadrupling the flavour. A KellyBronze has well marbled meat and award winning flavour.
“KellyBronze turkeys are the best of the best, the most joyful treat. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a KellyBronze turkey.
— Jamie Oliver
Turkey for every table
-
The whole bird
In our eyes, the best way to have a KellyBronze Christmas turkey. Breast meat and dark meat, all the juices for a delicious gravy, giblets, crispy skin, plenty of left overs and a carcass to make stock with after the festivities are over.
-
KellyBronze crown
The KellyBronze turkey Crown is the whole bird but without the legs and including a stock pack (giblets), so that you don’t miss out on the most delicious gravy you’ve ever tasted!
-
Breast Roast
A whole breast without any bone, skin on, 100% pure succulent KellyBronze Turkey. Perfect for intimate Christmas dinners – feeds a maximum of four with little (if any) leftovers. Also comes with or without stuffing!
FAQs
-
Allow approximately 500g per person for an average meal or 250g if buying a breast roast. 500g per person allows for a little leftover too.
