Festive takeaways: The best stuffed turkey, roast meats and log cakes for delivery this year

Once again, it's time for our favourite tradition of the year - getting more stuffed than a Christmas turkey.

Merrymaking in the comfort of home this year? We've made a list and checked it twice to bring you your fill of sugar and spice.

From oven-ready turkeys and hams to sumptuous log cakes and pies, these are the best spots in Singapore to get your festive takeaways delivered this 2021.

In space-starved Singapore, few of us have an oven large enough to fit a whole turkey. But that doesn't mean we have to settle for the pre-sliced stuff, thanks to Singapore's one and only Christmas feast specialty store.

Turkey Delivery Singapore will have your Christmas centrepiece landing piping-hot on your table, with one-hour delivery slots to ensure it's timed perfectly for your feast.

Hand-rubbed with a secret blend of spices and herbs, each Perfect Roast Turkey ($139.90++, 4.5kg) lands with crackling skin and chestnut stuffing.

These fresh birds, air-flown over daily, are prepped just hours before reaching your door - so you can count on freshness in every bite.

Amp up the festive cheer with the pocket-friendly Roast Meat Bundle Deal ($106.92) - a juicy medley of roast turkey, roasted pork knuckle, and honey baked ham.

At Oakwood Premier AMTD Singapore, SE7ENTH is cooking up a sumptuous storm with a Yuletide Feast ($155++, feeds three to four), available for takeaway and delivery.

The showstopper of the meal is undoubtedly the Oven-Baked Pancetta-Wrapped Turkey Leg, stuffed with a heavenly mix of mushroom duxelles and crisp croutons.

Just as alluring, though, is the Pineapple-Glazed Honey Ham with Cranberry Sauce , painstakingly basted every five minutes over two hours and baked to sweet, moist perfection.

Round out the meats with elevated classics like Sweet Potato and Marshmallow Gratin and Butter-Glazed Brussels Sprouts with Raspberries.

For dessert, SE7ENTH's vegan take on the Bûche de Noël is a featherlight affair of banana mousse and sponge cake on hazelnut feuilletine, blanketed in dark chocolate cremeux. Throw in a complimentary 750ml bottle of house wine, and we're sold.

Available: Nov 25 to Dec 31, 2021.

For fuss-free feasting, the gourmet grocer has sizzled up a range of oven-ready roasts, including new additions like the tangy, tender Smoked Pork Collar with Prunes ($68).

We recommend splashing out on their decadent Organic Turkey & Beef Set ($468), featuring a well-marbled Wagyu Striploin MB5+ Roast alongside gluten-free honey-baked ham and an organic roast turkey.

Otherwise, there's the Organic Turkey & Pork Set ($318), which swaps out the beef for chorizo-stuffed pork belly. For a sweet finish, check out their Yule desserts with a boozy kick, from Pumpkin Bourbon Pie ($69) to Lime & Mint Mojito Christmas Cake ($59 for 1kg).

The Marmalade Pantry is switching up the usual roasts with two new festive meat centrepieces this year.

The Char Siew Beef Short Ribs ($138 for 1.6kg) features bone-in Angus beef ribs marinated overnight to tasty succulence, while the Moroccan Roasted Boneless Lamb ($88 for 1.2kg) comes rubbed with a spicy blend of cumin, paprika, and cinnamon.

To take the planning out of your party, it's worth plumping for their festive bundles. The Wondrous Delights bundle ($268) serves four and offers a choice of lamb or short ribs, alongside either classic gammon ham or whole-roasted turkey.

For your two sides, you can pick from beloved staples like Brussels Sprouts - but we recommend diving straight into their famous Mac & Cheese. And to round off, cut into the Christmas Aloha Log Cake with its refreshing pineapple and pear filling.

It just isn't Yule without a Yule log, so don't miss out on the fabulous Berry Chocolate Cheese Log ($52). This log cake sees burnt cheesecake layered atop Valrhona chocolate crème for a luscious balance of light and dark.
