ROLLED TURKEY ROAST COOKING TIME RECIPES

Steps:

Tie the roll together with string, spacing knots 5cm (2in) apart. Put on a large wire rack over a large roasting tin.

  Roast for 11/2 hr or until the juices run clear when a skewer is inserted into the thickest part of the turkey.

  Transfer the turkey to a board, cover loosely with foil and rest for about 20min before carving. Serve with vegetables, sauces and stuffing of your choice.
