okay here we are the big deal mr. turkey
and I’ve got the slow growing variety
and I want to show you what I’m doing
this year and also go through the
absolute definite that you must do to
guarantee yourself a juicy beautifully
cooked turkey so first and foremost I’m
going to make flavored butter I’m gonna
be using dried cranberries just chopped
for about a minute right I’ve got two
fairly decent-sized rosemary sprigs here
about a tablespoon of thyme and then I
got sage okay I’m not going to season it
with salt a good pinch of pepper and a
quarter of a nutmeg 1 pack of good
quality butter and literally all you
have to do now is scrunch it up and you
just get this bit of skin here get a
spoon in there and you can just
literally Park the skin and the meat see
what I’m doing and you can go pretty
much as far as about here is good see
how easy that is I’m just going to ferry
this butter up here just push it in and
then you just literally just have a
little massage up and then all I would
do just to guarantee that this skin
doesn’t slip back is I just get a bit of
rosemary or a skewer I just secure here
and I don’t want that going anywhere now
in the cavity I’m putting no stuffing at
all what I will do however is put a bit
a Christmas inside there which comes in
the form of a couple of clementines it’s
not going to stop the hot air getting in
what will happen is it will steam a
little bit and it will smell a Christmas
and that will actually help flavor this
burn in a nice way here’s my stuffing
here’s the neck of the turkey it is
touching the bottom of the roasting tray
and it will get a really nice good you
know decent cooking and just sort of
tuck it in like that so there you go ok
let’s talk about turkey cooking times a
good quality slow-growing turkey will
cook in nearly half the time of a
regular standard turkey so for instance
this is about 6 kilos I’m going to cook
it for about 25 minutes
per kilo plus about 20 minutes at the
end now if that was a normal everyday
turkey that will be about 40 minutes
per kilo plus 20 minutes at the end I
cook it 180 degrees Celsius or about 375
degrees Fahrenheit okay and I put the
oven on full whack to start with I’ll
put the turkey in now the minute I close
that door I want to turn it down to 180
all right there she is a beautiful
turkey nice crispy skin you can see
where the butter has gone in roast
turkey cooked perfectly
