Say “Christmas meal” and the first thing that comes to mind is Christmas ham and turkey – served with stuffing, gravy and all the trimmings. If you don’t have the time to cook your own bird, you can order a ready-to-eat turkey from local supermarkets and butcheries.

Your turkey will be pre-cooked, chilled and packaged for delivery, so you simply need to reheat the bird and the feasting can begin.

If you’re planning to have your own turkey feast at home (the best choice, as there’s no better place to pass out immediately after), we found some affordable Christmas turkey in Singapore. At under S$100 each, you and your guests can enjoy a traditional meal without also putting your wallet into a coma.
