Christmas dinner part I: Advice and recipes from Paul Flynn, Neven Maguire and Darina Allen
2 Remove the neck and giblets from inside the turkey.4 Place the onions and smoked bacon lardons on the base of an oven tray, along with the turkey neck, cinnamon and herbs.6 Brush the turkey liberally with the butter, then season it well.8 Cook for 2 hours 45 minutes, then remove the turkey from the oven.10 Remove the foil and add the other can of cider and place in the oven for another half hour.
I always cook mine to 75-80 degrees Celsius rather than the 90 degrees Celsius often suggested on some thermometer gauges. To test whether the turkey is cooked with a skewer, insert it into the thickest part of the thigh and check the juices – they should run clear. If the juices are still pink, then the turkey is not yet cooked. Put it back in the oven, checking it every 10 minutes, and cover your vegetable sides with foil.
