Carving instructions
To ensure your turkey looks as good as it tastes, here are some useful tips for carving. All you need is a sharp knife and a carving fork to hold the bird safely in position. If stuffing is required, place in neck end of bird, smooth skin over and tuck underneath to hold stuffing in place.
1. Lift one end of a drumstick and use it to pull the whole leg away from the body, then cut through the joint between the thigh and the body.
2. Turn the turkey so the neck is facing you.
Slice the breast meat evenly, carving into long slices parallel with the breast bone.
3. Hold leg by end of drumstick, slice through joint to separate drumstick and thigh.
4. Drumstick meat can be carved off in a vertical direction.
5. Using carving fork hold thigh in place and carve meat either side of the bone.

Chefs Tip
To make it more special..
To improve cooking and help create a more succulent and tasty turkey, loosen the trussing bands by cutting with scissors to allow the legs to relax. Place a peeled, quartered onion and fresh herbs into the bird cavity before roasting as these will delicately flavour the bird from the inside during cooking.
To make perfect turkey stock...
Remove the giblets from the bag found inside the turkey. Place in a large pan with the neck and cover with cold water.
Add roughly chopped carrot, celery and onion, 1 bay leaf and some black peppercorns to the pan.
Bring to the boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour, skimming fat from the surface. Strain and use to make delicious risottos, gravies or soups.
To make perfect turkey gravy...
1 tbsp plain flour
568ml (1 pint) fresh turkey stock
Sea salt and black pepper
Drain off fat from the turkey roasting tin, leaving only the turkey roasting juices. Add the flour and blend with the juices over a gentle heat until it turns golden brown and is a smooth consistency. Remove from heat. Gradually add the hot stock to the pan, stirring continuously and ensuring all the meaty sediment is included. Return to the heat and bring to the boil for 3-4 mins, stirring all the time until the gravy thickens. Season to taste and serve.
