Cooking the turkey

Another Christmas Theme this week..

Always allow the turkey to rest before you serve.
Do this by covering with tin foil.
Then with a couple of tea towels.
This will ensure the bird can rest without losing too much heat.
This also allows all the juice back into the bird for a moist Turkey.
 
To store leftover turkey – allow to cool.
Remove all the meat from the carcass.
Store in an air tight container in the fridge.
 
Remember to use up the carcass.  Make stock for soup.
 
How do you know your Turkey is cooked?
At the thickest part of the leg the juices should run clear from the bird. 
(You can also use a Turkey pop up timer)
