Many of us cook a turkey on Christmas day and I find turkeys are harder to cook perfectly than chicken as often they turn out dry.

Last year I used Jamie’s fail safe roast turkey recipe and it was delicious and perfect and very easy to do.

Check out his easy to follow video to help you perfect your turkey this year:

Do you have a roast turkey tip to share?

  • To me it seems like Turkey isn’t as popular as it use to be in Christmas dinners. I remember growing up with 3 or 4 different meats of the table for Christmas, but now it a big deal if there’s 2 meats. Funny how traditional stuff fade away over the years.

  • I’ll have to keep this recipe/video in mind next time i cook a turkey – only done it once and it took me nearly the whole day! I’m not a huge fan of it as I find it can be a bit dry and bland, but gravy usually comes to the rescue!

  • I cheat and buy the Turkey breast loaf that just needs to be heated up/cooked in the oven with simple instructions.

  • Taking into consideration the length of time it takes and the heat added to your house + you remove the weight of all the bones of a turkey a better option is a turkey breast roll. Frozen, it roll takes a lot less time to thaw, it cooks quicker. For those who do all the cooking, sometimes they are exhausted and don’t enjoy it as they should…..Imagine how hard it was in the olden days when there was no aircondtioning or fans, wood stoves were used. Custard and other desserts were made and put down in the cellar to keep them cold. We don’t realise how easy we’ve got it now.

  • I wish I could cook a whole turkey. I’ve only tried once and it was a bit dry, over cooked I think. I usually stick to the turkey rolls, much easier, but not as yummy

  • Roast turkey is a favourite and fills the house with a wonderful aroma.

  • Cook them long and slow. I put the turkey in at midnight on Christmas Eve @ 150 degrees. Took it out of the oven about 8 am next day and left covered in foil while I cooked the roast pork, leg of lamb and chicken, then baked veg.
    Everyone complimented me on the turkey – still moist and perfectly cooked.

  • No turkey this year as I was alone. Had to work so rest of family went away with my wishes. Next year I’m going to try this as my turkeys are usually very dry. Actually there are some turkeys left at the store so might cook it on the weekend
