Everyone will have their own method of cooking a Turkey but ours is as follows:
There are many opinions on this, but we think that stuffing the cavity with breadcrumb stuffing makes for the tastiest stuffing at Christmas, with the turkey juices adding extra flavour & moisture to the stuffing.
Stuff the turkey 30 minutes before cooking (stuffing any further in advance than this is not recommended as it blocks the airflow through the cavity of the uncooked bird). The neck of the bird is great for stuffing with sausage meat stuffing & again the turkey juices add an extra dimension to an already tasty product.
*Weights & Cooking times are approximate & meant as a guide only - we supply a Pop-Up Cooking Timer with all our turkeys which will let you know exactly when your turkey is fully cooked. For more details on our Pop-Up Timers please click here
Weigh your turkey after stuffing to calculate cooking time and remember oven temperatures vary. Fan assisted ovens cook at a higher temperature - consult the manufacturers handbook. Cook in a conventional oven at 190°C / Fan 180°C / 375°F / Gas Mark 5. Cover loosely with foil and remove foil for last 40 minutes for browning.
As a guide, if the bird is under 4kg allow 20 minutes per kg + 70 minutes. If the bird is over 4kg allow 20 minutes per kg + 90 minutes.
