Turkey Tips:

HOW BIG SHOULD MY TURKEY BE?
As a rule of thumb, you should allow for up to 500g of turkey weight per person – so if you’ve got six people for Christmas, you need a 3kg bird – more, of course, if you want plenty of leftovers. Just make sure it will fit in your oven!

WHAT KIND OF TURKEY SHOULD I CHOOSE?
It’s down to your budget and your personal preference. And if you want a turkey that’s easy to cook and carve, or you’re having a smaller feast, you could opt for a crown or joint instead of a whole bird.

HOW DO I COOK TURKEY?
Remove the turkey from the fridge and bring to room temperature. Put some chopped carrots, onions and a clove of garlic in a large roasting tin. Rub the bird with olive oil, season, then place on top of the veg. Wrap tin foil over the top of the bird and place in the oven, baste regularly. About 30 minutes before cooking is finished, remove the foil to allow the skin to get golden and crispy.
