Turkey Roasting Tips
- Let the meat come up to room temperature before cooking
- Always ensure turkey is fully cooked before eating. You check this by inserting a skewer in the thickest part of the meat and checking that the juices that come out are clear, not pink or red.
- If stuffing your turkey make sure that you calculate the cooking time from the weight of the turkey including the stuffing!
- Don't forget to rest the meat before carving. This allows the meat to relax and distributes the juices throughout. A general rule of thumb used by chefs for resting meat is 1 minute for every 100g of meat.
