Post by: Riggy on December 16, 2010, 06:26:15 am
Does anyone know of a supplier of freezer bags big enough to hold a turkey?

We bought ours once off our local butcher, very expensive, about £15.00 for a box but they came in for lamb as well and lasted two years. For own turkeys and geese we use bin bags!!!! perfectly good as long as you seal right and dont move in the freezer to cause a burst bag.

Very fiddly but ........ I take long strips of the material I make the bags out of and seal them together to form a large shape which I eventually seal into a turkey sized bag.  Then I have to check for leaks before sealing turkey in.  Takes a while but it may be possible to cut largest available turkey bags and do the same.  Much easier to use the bin bag though.
