When roasting your turkey you could try putting it upside down on its breast. The juices from the back and legs run into the drier breast meat and keep it moist during cooking. Cooking a turkey uncovered and upside down will reduce cooking times so check your turkey about 30-40 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
As a guide, if the bird is under 4kgs (8lb 8oz) allow 20 minutes per kg plus 70 minutes at the end.
If it is over 4kg (8lb 8oz) allow 20 minutes per kg plus 90 minutes at the end.
Cooking times can vary depending on your oven.
If you are stuffing your turkey weigh it again after stuffing and increase the cooking time accordingly.

We have been having a turkey for a few years now, they seem to cook to perfection every year. Excellent service! 5*****

I have been having a Calcott turkey for many years, I like the recipe for left over turkey to save any wastage.
