Oven space, carving and leftovers.
A turkey crown is the breast left on the bone with the legs removed. You still get the flavour of cooking on the bone, with carving that is mostly straight slices down the breast.
Choose a whole bird when you want legs, wings and the full Christmas centrepiece, or when leftovers for broth and pies matter as much as the main meal.
Choose a crown when oven space is limited, most guests prefer white meat, or you want a simpler carve. Crowns are available in Woodland Bronze and Charlesfort White.
