The long Easter weekend is the perfect time to serve up a roast British bird. Complement the turkey by using Mediterranean flavours such as rice mixed with pine nuts, sun blushed tomatoes and basil.

TV celebrity chef Phil Vickery, who created the recipe, reminds people to look for the familiar farm assured Red Tractor logo alongside the Quality British Turkey mark, when buying the turkey, to guarantee people are buying turkey farmed in the UK to high standards of food safety, traceability and animal welfare.
