But when her online order arrived Saturday evening she discovered to her horror that the order was short by one turkey coating £37.
Instead, her turkey had been replaced by £2.30 dinosaur shapes.
Beauty therapist Cassie and her son Charlie, 13 were devastated to find that their traditional Christmas dinner had been ruined.
The turkey which cost Cassie £37 could’ve fed six to eight people – but now has to stretch the dinosaur shapes to feed the family on Christmas.
Cassie said: “We’re going to have to eat that is that is all we have now.
“I can’t spend Christmas Eve rushing around to find another Turkey.
“It’s too late.”
Cassie added: “It just won’t be the same without a proper turkey.”

He had placed the order on December 3 – for a medium turkey crown and a £10 Sainsbury’s Brunswick British ham joint.
The 900g ham was replaced with two four-packs of Sainsbury’s Taste The Difference breaded Yorkshire cured cooked British ham slices, weighing 120g.
But for the 2kg turkey, Sainsbury’s said they were unable to find a suitable replacement.
