Are the wizard folk able to magic up raw ingredients? Like white 
sauce dribbling out of the wand (which always seems Freudian to me). 
The turkey and/or the ham could be Xmas bonusses from Arthur's and 
Percy's jobs at the Ministry, the veggies could have been grown in 
Mrs. Weasley's kitchen garden. Eggs and chicken flesh from the 
chickens that Harry saw scratching in the yard.

If all the young-uns got jobs to support themselves, the Weasleys 
would be more financially solvent than with five or even four 
dependent children. If Fred and George's joke shop is a big success, 
the family could be rolling in money.
