Cooking Instructions
- 1
The night before cooking prepare then salt the turkey.
- 2
Heat the oven to 180 c.
- 3
Place turkey whole on a tray. Spread the butter over the turkey inside and out. Then squeeze half of the lemon juice onto the turkey and slice the other half and place both inside and on the outside turkey. Add a splash of white wine.
- 4
Cover with foil and place in the oven. The times vary depending on the size of the bird. A 6 to 8 pound turkey will take 2 1/2-3 hours to cook.
- 5
I recommend basting the bird every 30 minutes or so.
- 6
When ready remove from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes covered in foil.

The British Embassy in Japan is hosting a campaign called "Food is GREAT: A Taste of Britain" for people to experience British cooking firsthand. There is more information on Facebook.http://www.facebook.com/oishii.igirisuYou can also use ground pork instead of sausage meat. After seasoning with salt and pepper, let it sit for 30 to 60 minutes before baking. Please spoon the cooked juices over the meat as it's baking. The opening where the turkey was stuffed will burn easily, so please cover with aluminum foil. You can optionally use carrots, onions, or turnips to accompany the turkey. Recipe by British Embassy

Traditional Roasted Turkey Traditional Roasted Turkey
I've been roasting turkeys for several years now, and not a just on thanksgiving. While I will say that smoking a turkey is the absolute best you can get (yes, even over frying), sometimes you want those traditional autumn flavors of sage and thyme with salty crackly turkey skin that comes from a traditional roasting process. I use a dry brine and place a compound butter under the skin to give the meat an extra layer of herbed flavor. The turkey is spatchcocked, which not only cuts down the cooking time and exposes the skin for crisping that typically get soggy with a whole bird roast, but it allows the turkey to lay flat so you can fit other things in the oven while it's cooking.
