Turkey

Rinse the turkey in cold water, dab dry with kitchen roll. Season inside and out, stuff. Secure the opening with toothpicks. Cross the legs, tie with kitchen twine. Place on a baking tray (breast side up), top with the knobs of butter.

To roast

Reduce the heat to 140°C, continue to roast for approx. 3 hrs., add the chestnuts and pears to the tray and cook with the turkey for the final 30 mins. Baste the turkey with the cooking juices from time to time. The turkey is cooked when the juices run clear when pricked.

Remove the toothpicks and twine from the turkey, carve the turkey. Plate up the meat and stuffing, serve with the sauce, chestnuts and pears.
