Preparation chick- get it all prepped the day or two before, veg etc can be peeled and left covered in water. Buy stuffing, bread sauce, pigs in blankets ready prepped.

Its just like a Sunday roast really, but bigger.

If all else fails- provide plenty of wine! xx

Little tip for you. Pour your first drink while the Turkey is cooking. Keep drinking and by the time you eat you won't feel a thing

I'm sure he'll love it xxx Just remember to cover the turkey in bacon & cook upside down so top stays moist (hate that word!!)

Do what we do, go out for Christmas dinner. No cooking cleaning, afterwards when everyone is getting on each other's nerves we go our separate ways.

I always place unsalted butter in between the skin and meat. If you go in slowly from the back end its not to bad but still a messy job.

Leaves the turkey really moist with a slight hint of butter.
