- Don't forget to weigh the turkey again with the stuffing enclosed.
- Put the Turkey onto a large roasting tray and place in the preheated oven.
- If you feel the turkey is browning too quickly you can cover down the turkey with some tin foil for the first two hours.
- Allocate 20 minutes per pound and then an additional 20-30 minutes in the oven. In total it should take about 4-5 hours.
- When a skewer is inserted into the meat nearest the bone (ie-the Leg) the juices should run completely clear.
- Allow the meat to rest when it comes out of the oven and carve as required.
