Ok folks, this year will be my first foray into the world of Roast Turkey...
I need your best tips, tricks and recipe's for the most scrumptious turkey!
The more detail the better!
2. Cook it on low, gas preferably, maybe mark 3, for a long time as opposed to a high mark 7 short cook. Prob 24 hours in foil, if you intend to use foil.
3. Stuff it not only with stuffing (such as Paxo), but with a few stuffed bell peppers and maybe a few parsnips too.
4. Pepper and salt the breast skin well before inverting and putting in the oven.
5. Do not use garlic with Turkey - it kills it and makes it bitter.
These are just initial thoughts.

Don't wrap it in foil... make sure there's some air between the bird that the stuffing, pork sausage meat in the stuffing adds moisture. If it's a crown it needs all the help it can get, turkeys need the bones from the legs and wings to ass flavor. Some people put slices of bacon on top... oven shouldn't be any higher than 160c.
Steaks are less work and taste better...

Buy some steaks instead.
Buy some decent stewing beef instead, and make a nice, slow, and above all flavoursome casserole.
