Chef shares easy way to make sure your turkey is perfectly cooked this Christmas
But it can be difficult to get it right - with the meat left dry and tasteless if it's cooked incorrectly.However, chef Gayle Chapman - a favourite on TikTok - has shared the two things she does to ensure a perfect turkey.
First off, in terms of kitchen tools, Gayle uses a meat thermometer so she can be sure when the bird is cooked the whole way through. "For the turkey this year I’ll be using one of these wireless thermometers that take all of the guesswork out of cooking times," Gayle toldMost thermometers, which are readily available in supermarkets and online, cost around £30.
As for the correct temperature for the bird to reach, Gayle suggests using the temperature in the thickest part of the turkey's inner thigh - this need to reach 73.8C. It's a good idea to check the wing and the outer thigh too - if they are also both 73.8C then you're good to go.
