ROAST TURKEY WITH HERB AND GARLIC BUTTER

Serves 8 EASY 4 hrs 30 mins

WHAT YOU NEED ROAST TURKEY

1 onion, peeled and cut into wedges small handful each fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs small handful fresh sage leaves

1 head garlic, halved

100g butter, melted

HERB AND GARLIC BUTTER

handful fresh chives, chopped

HOW TO DO IT

1 Position the oven rack on the lower third of the oven. Preheat to 220°C. Pat the turkey dry with kitchen paper and generously season the cavity with salt. Stuff the cavity with the onion, thyme, rosemary, sage and halved head of garlic. Tie the legs together with kitchen string.

2 Transfer the turkey to a roasting dish, brush the 100g melted butter all over, then season the outside generously with salt. Place in the preheated oven and immediately reduce the heat to 180°C.

3 Roast, basting every 45 minutes with the juices in the dish, until the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and thigh, 3 – 4 hours.

4 Cover the cooked turkey with foil and allow to rest for 20 minutes before carving.

5 For the herb and garlic butter, combine the chives, parsley, 120g melted butter, salt and minced garlic in a small mixing bowl. Drizzle over the turkey and serve immediately.
