As Marks ordering dept had messed up this year (2021) we were unable to order our normal stuffed turkey crown. Ordered the perfect turkey joint instead not cheap at set price of £45. Followed cooking instructions to letter (wary from the start) as told to add a sachet of ready made sauce/gravy to the bottom and cover with foil, which is more like steaming. Foil removed as instructed and cooked for a further 30 mins and left to stand for required time. Based on the picture which is currently on marks christmas food hub page, should have lovely stuffing all the way through, ours had a small amount in the middle. The joint itself had an unpleasant smell the meat was chewy and inedible and left a very unpleasant aftertaste. The bacon on our usual turkey crown crisps up beautifully but the bacon on this joint went straight in the bin closely followed by the whole joint. Thank goodness we didn't have guests we would have been mortified and our own day was ruined. With regard to the ingredients on this joint, there is far too much going on with sloe gin etc etc etc, this must have been sampled before putting on their list so shame on the marks and spencer team for passing this. I do appreciate tastes differ but this review is true to our experience.
