Top Ten Turkey Tips

     

    Top Ten Turkey Tips


    • Always defrost your Turkey in the fridge
    • A chilled Turkey is out of Season at Christmas in the Southern Hemisphere
    • Never stuff your Turkey ahead of time – stuff then cook is always safest. You can make your stuffing ahead of time and store it separately.
    • Buy the right size Turkey – great big ones take longer to cook, are older birds and this leads to toughness and dried meat in parts.
    • Remember to rest your Turkey after cooking for at least 15 minutes in a warm place.
    • Once defrosted wash the bird inside and out with clean water and then pat dry with a handy towel.
    • Make sure you remove any giblets from within the Turkey cavity before stuffing.
    • Use an oven bag to cook your Turkey to ensure the bird is moist and the splatter in your oven is kept to a minimum.
    • Get your carving knives sharpened before the big day to ensure that the finished product is not ripped to pieces by a blunt blade, ruining your presentation.
    • Place a damp cloth underneath your carving board to stop it moving.
