Mrs PL's own time-proven method.

Bird (usually just a crown) gets marinaded overnight, then wacked in a roasting bag with as much butter and bacon as I can fit on it, a couple of onions & completed with a meat thermometer.

Foolproof and delicious.

Sorry, but I currently have no idea what Mr Fred. Olsen's chef will be providing for us on Xmas Day.

Straightforward roast bird with all the trimmings courtesy of Franklin of Thorncote.

Would prefer to have goose or 3 bird but as its at the outlaws, it's turkey.

I've made a cranberry and port chutney and will be making a leek and porcini stuffing on Friday to bring over. Collecting the turkey from the farm on xmas eve.

Will it be ready seasoned? Like welsh lamb.

This particular farm hangs their meat to season it a tad, so it has a bit more flavour.

Usual seasoning of salt and pepper, some strips of bacon across the breast is all. I don't cook it, Mr N's mum does.
