Shoppers were astonished when they spotted a turkey for sale in Morrisons for £136 - more expensive than a flight to the country of the same name. The organic bronze British bird - big enough to feed eight to 12 people - was in the supermarket's 'Best' range.
The label said it had been "free to forage in open pastures" and was "naturally slower growing for a fuller flavour and succulent texture". The 6.83kg main course was the most expensive turkey on sale at the Morrisons in Sheldon, Birmingham, on Wednesday, a shopper said.
The shopper who spotted it said there was also one for sale for around £116. The £136.60 price tag was more expensive than a flight from Birmingham to Turkey, which can currently be found for £104, flying on December 29.
