I know :confused:

I'm not sure. I put one in last night but it was dead this morning.

Good deal. Just like me a Christmas LEGLESS. Boom Boom.:confused:

what has been seen can not be unseen :wink:

wonder if they're fresh or frozen. good price either way.

does anyone know the weight of it, sometimes the servings dont match up to what the actual weight of the crown is

It only feeds 7-11 IF 4 of the guests are vegetarian IMHO
But nice deal op thank you

Should this not be under Freebies?

Is water added to the turkey like in other supermarkets?

Seems very cheap!

Fairly sure they will be frozen, they don't have the refrigeration space

I bought one of these last year & it was very good...though I would doubt the serves 7 bit...but did us with 4 adults & 2 young. kids..

i saw the free highlighted in yellow. nearly fell off my chair. :smile: heat

I just keep thinking of a suntanned Turkey...on a beach in Benidorm :sunglasses:

what has been seen can not be unseen :wink:

I'd say it'll be fresh if it's saying in store from 19th, they've had their frozen ones in for weeks

you have just humanised the turk and now i feel guilty

Will serve 5 at most!

Doesn't show the weight.

Picked up 2.1kg at Asda, for £11 - medium crown, says it feeds 5-7. This is probably a similar weight considering the price?

Would be good to know.

How long can you keep a turkey in your freezer?

It's £11.99 per kg !!

Said the actress to the bishop...

Product Description
Reared on RSPCA assured farms where they can roost and roam. Serves 7-11.

Plain lies, it has no legs!

Thanks op x

I hate turkey...good deal though. :smiley:

According to the deals leaflet in Great Barr Aldi tonight they weigh between 2-3kg and, as angie14 said, they cost £11.99 per kg, so £23.98 - £35.97 per crown.

​that was a prostitute..

Weird.

just how I like my Christmas bird, legless with big breasts

does not say per kilo on web site link ?

Its £11.99 per crown, i looked at them yesterday and yes they say added water. Still look at a god price though

Tastes like Chicken

Perhaps because they take the legs off for free? :stuck_out_tongue:

God price for a Turkey I wonder how much a equivalent in Waitrose would be, allot more anyway xxx

Thank you will get one if any left

Any Aldi'ers here know when the fresh goose and beef rib joints will be arriving?

Geese are migratory so depends on the wind.

If anyone has Makro membership, they had some Turkey crowns a couple of weeks ago (not frozen), and if memory serves me well it was £4.49 per kilo.

Maybe worth checking if you are in the area of one

​sounds like a wild goose chase..

"Added water".

I'll pass. I don't like the way meat gets pumped with water, phosphates and other additives to bulk up the weight. It's Christmas dinner so it's worth spending a bit extra to get a decent turkey I think.

To be fair it does say £11.99 on line but in the aldi special buys leaflet it says £11.99 per kilo........Aldi is really good but they are not going to sell a bronze free range turkey crown to feed 7-11 people for £11.99 its unrealistic! A regular 3kg british crown frozen in iceland is £16!! It does need to be modified as it is obviously an online error.

Looks like Monday 19th according to leaflet.

Half price on Christmas Eve

Yup same here - budget goes out the window as far as Christmas dinner goes. Will pay premium money and not buy water pumped turkeys

The Aldi turkey crown is great

Anyone know any good deals for something like this a bit earlier? We have a family Christmas meal this Sunday and I need to get a Turkey crown on Friday or Saturday.

Morrisons £7 per kg.

I am sick of buying meat and chicken and trying to roast/fry when it actually turns into a "boil" as all the added water comes out. I pay £12 a kilo for meat not half a kilo of meat and the rest water weight. People dont realise how they are being ripped off. Its impossible to properly roast supermarket meat any more as it just boils.

Maybe per kilo???????

I'm putting money on that this is per Kg. Having looked at some reviews last year of the Aldi turkey crown they all stated the price as £11.99 per Kg.

Anyone work for Aldi and could give definitive answer on the per/crown or per kilo question?

I've emailed Customer services to enquire about the weight....living the dream!

They are £11.99 pre crown, no mention of weight and the geese are coming on the 19th as well. Looks like this is the date for all fresh Christmas butchery arriving.

think it's a typo £11.99 per kilo

You are pulling my leg, its fowl, and not the breast deal if it's per Kilo !!

In the pan just drain the water if frying. In the oven put it on a wire rack and the water should just evaporate.

Looking at the brochure from my local Aldi. It states that these are FRESH ad £11.99 per Kg (this sounds correct as looking at the prices of whole turkeys also in the brochure £11.99 per crown would make it cheaper than whole turkeys per kg as they are 2-3kg). They are for the Free Range Bronze turkey crowns.

Just seen advert in Fridays metro definitely fresh. No voucher in metro. Ignore me this is Aldi and I'm talking about Lidl!

Are you sure? How can you look at them when they're not in store till the 19th? :neutral_face:

Thank you for contacting Aldi Customer Services regarding the free range bronze turkey crown.

I can confirm that the weight of this product is between 2 and 3kg. 

I hope this helps.

So is that 2-3Kg @ £11.99 per Kg or 2-3Kg @ £11.99 per crown ?

The latter

Excellent - I've just had it confirmed by Aldi as well


Looks like we're having turkey this Christmas :smiley:

Definitely £11.99 per kg!
picked up leaflet in store today .

Lots of confusion here lmao. I've had an email from Aldi confirming that it is £11.99 per crown so maybe the leaflet is wrong.

The leaflet is definitely wrong.

second that

11.99 per 2-3 kg turkey...fresh...NOT PER KILO! had it confirned by Aldi.

Considering that Lidl are selling the exact same Turkey Crown at £11.99 per kg I find it highly unlikely that Aldi will be able to undercut them by that much on the same product. Doesn't matter what Aldi CS have told you....they are wrong.

Aldi Free Free Range Turkey Crown. £11.99 per Kilo OR PER CROWN, That is the question what is the answer ? ? ?

​see above........​​11.99 per 2-3 kg turkey...fresh...NOT PER KILO! had it confirned by Aldi.

I'm going to give it a go - if I turn up and it is per Kg after the online appearing per item and two confirmation emails from Aldi saying it is per crown then I'll be going straight to the ASA and kicking up a fuss.

On the other hand - I may just end up with a nice turkey crown for £11.99 :smiley:

Come back Monday and say that.

Good God, the phone rang this morning at 9.20am, awoke me from a foul dream too! It was only Aldi Customer Services! Seriously that time on a Sunday!! She went on to tell me that she doesn't know why anyone at Customer services told me it was a 2-3kg turkey for £11.99. She said the price will only be settled on the day, it could go up or down! She didn't really confirm anything and left me more confused. I was half asleep and only thought afterwards that hold on it's advertised on the Aldi website as £11.99. I'm still amazed that they thought it was that important to ring me on a Sunday morning! Serves me right I guess for pestering their Customer services. But it does at least confirm they're as confused as the rest of us. Roll on tomorrow for this mystery to be solved. Not sure Sherlock could fathom this one out. Ironic thing is the wife brought home a Turkey crown from Asda yesterday, 3.252kg for £21.95. £6.75 per kilo. So surely this is a 2-3kg for £11.99 after all it's Aldi.

I add water in the form of a brine bath to my chicken breasts as a matter of course. It makes them more succulent.

The asda ones are £6.75 kg as they're not free range :smiley:

Got mine - definitely per kg and 2.5kg cost £30.33.
Turkeys :confused:

Just been in def per kilo and with bone in too

I'm in Aldi now and the £11.99 price is per kg.

Agh well never mind

Nothing for £11.99 in my aldi bronze turkeys are £17 +

£11.99 per kilo? So at least the mystery is finally solved. What a rip! cold from me lol

Uum merry turkeymas everyone!! sent hubby to Aldi NORWICH this morning .....he returned 1 turkey costing £11.99.....may be a lil more to the mission in between,.....being called a thief by a not very festive Julian Aldi assistant.....a call to customer services even armed with link to advert .....see pic below .....Paid £11.99 for a turkey priced at £31.73....

Link to your photo not working sharyn..... well done to hubby!!!!

I picked up one of the large crowns today just shy of £20 serves 11 people it says, that's still good thought isn't it?

It must weigh less than 2 kg (less than 4 lbs). Would a chicken of that weight serve 11 people? Yes if they have half a slice each, if you're lucky.... I never go by how many people the packaging says it serves. Aldi have created the publicity they wished for by misleading advertising..... shame on them!

Hi it weighs 3kg which is £6.50 a kilo?

Are they now passing off frozen ones as fresh? If so may as well buy a frozen one at half the price.

Different one than the £11.99 kilo one then... Good Luck ! x

The manager in my store this morning was very on the ball and promptly pointed out that none of the fresh meat products on the website had a price per kg - a massive error on Aldi's part - so much so that I note this evening that this has been quickly amended and all prices now state per Kilo.

Can anyone point us towards the best place to buy a Christmas turkey this year, preferably a crown, whether fresh or frozen as long as it's good quality? I think I saw a TV ad for Morrisons mentioning £6-something per kilo, is this a hot deal?

I'm looking for a good deal too if anybody knows?

Iceland's basted and brined turkey with orange and thyme is the one I'm going for. Won Good Housekeeping gold award, needs 48 hours to defrost so getting mine Friday morning.

I am fussy enough but unless you go for a free range, bronze etc. bird most of the standards are going to taste similar from my experience. So I just went to my local ADSA (not my favourite store by a mile) and bought a crown there- all sort of sizes to choose from. It was OK last year so not running around town looking to save pennies ;-) Aldi's turkey crown I bought a couple of years ago was a horrid con - not a crown but all wings and back bone hidden underneath - 25% weight off when those were removed, to leave the actual crown so the price per kilo came out not a bargain at all :disappointed: Lidl would be good but went there couple of mornings and no turkey crowns - sounds like my local Morrisons offers - great, but hardly ever on the shelf. Runt over and since my food shop is already done I could think about home baking :wink:.....

Runt! looool

spotted a typo, yippee - well done lol

​a great typo though...it reminded me of the runt of the litter! maybe thats what these turkeys are? maybe its just my soh, but it made me laugh!

Told you so :stuck_out_tongue:

I think you'll find this is Friday.:innocent:
