For years iv cooked my turkey my own way. Butter under the skin butter over the skin. Stuffed the neck, onion up its bum. Set the oven as advised on the pakaging. Iv had frozen and fresh norfolk black, bronze, cheap as chips type. One of my favourites was the sainsburys norfolk black. This year I bought the bronze from morrisons ( because the 'good houskeeping said it was best buy and the sainsburys was expensive) but I decided to follow the lovely nigellas recipe. So I soaked the poor thing for 36 hours then cooked it on her instructions on a very high heat in 2 1/2 hours. The legs burnt to a crisp the skin looked a tad over cooked. The breast was fine and we used a meat thermometer but I was very unsure that it was throughly cooked. My family said it was lovely, soft and moist. The stock made very sweet gravy that I wasn't over keen on. I'm not sure I'd cook that quickly again without mayor adjustments. How was yours this year. Did any one use a famous celebritiesChiefs recipe? If so how was yours(phew that was a long winded post about a turkey...sorry
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
