'I’m a chef and these are 3 mistakes everone makes when cooking the Xmas turkey'
THERE are plenty of things to look forward to on Christmas Day - the presents, the booze, the crashing out on the sofa with our nearest and dearest by 9pm.lunch has got to be our personal highlight - but speaking from experience, it's all too easy to mess up the turkey when you've been sipping Bucks Fizz all morning.
Earlier this year, the author of The Healthy Chef revealed the three most common mistakes people make when prepping their Christmas lunch - and they're SO easy to avoid. As tempting as it is to fill your turkey will all sorts of lovely herbs and lemons, Dan says this can prevent your turkey cooking all the way through.
Urging people not to overstuff their bird, he explained: "This prevents heat getting through to the center of the bird, meaning you often undercook the inside."Instead, just lightly fill the cavity with herbs such as thyme, sage and rosemary and season with salt and pepper. What's more, Dan highlighted how important it is to have the legs tied together before putting the turkey in the oven - as this is a mistake he sees time and time again.
