The British Poultry Council (BPC) said the release of 5,500 foreign worker visas in September has helped ease production problems caused by a shortage of staff. And Essex turkey producer Paul Kelly - the owner of KellyBronze - said: "Christmas has been saved. I just wish they'd done it earlier" The BPC believes that between 2,500 and 3,000 temporary visas have gone out.
Producers have also managed to recruit some EU seasonal workers who have settled status in the UK.
BPC boss Richard Griffiths said: "It'll get us over the line.
"We've been able to streamline products and reduce the variety, so that helps with the overall volume. There will be a focus on whole birds and very simple crowns and roasts."
He believes early warnings about worker shortages meant they acted in time - reducing the number of birds being reared.
That cuts choice but will ensure there is enough to go round.
Paul's family business, based near Chelmsford, is now in its 50th year and prides itself on raising free range, hand plucked birds.
He managed to hire 63 mainly EU seasonal workers and needed another 22 through the Government's emergency scheme. He said: "It's impossible to do this job without seasonal workers. People say to me, 'You should employ local people'.
"I have four weeks work at Christmas. So how can I expect people to give up a full-time job to come for a month?
"These 22 workers make up about 20 per cent of my full team.
"It was touch and go and a lot of sleepless nights, up until the last week in September when we got the green light from the Government to get some visas."
Paul added: "I don't think there will be people fighting over turkeys in the supermarket. The industry has pulled out all the stops and we will be supplying the Christmas market this year,"
