The size of the turkey determines how many portions you will be able to serve and how long it will take to cook. Always use butter when you cook a turkey. It can become very dry and butter prevents this. One cooking method is to cover the turkey with a tea-towel dipped in melted butter then roast the bird at a low temperature. The turkey will absorb the fat from the tea-towel and become much more tender. The oven temperature for this method is just under 140°C (Mark 1). |
