  • This is a very novel way to cook the turkey – the stuffing is so different to the norm. Didn\’t have turkey this year, but will keep this recipe for next year.

  • I find it so hard to fit in my oven, but I love turkey

    • If your oven is not big enough – you can half and quarter the turkey.
