Place in the centre of the oven and set a timer for 1 hour.  

3. After an hour, carefully remove the turkey and take off the baking paper or tin foil then baste it with its juices for ultimate flavour and to keep the meat juicy and tender. If you’re adding bacon lattice, now is the time to lay it on top. Place the baking paper or tin foil back over the turkey and pop it back in the oven for 30 minutes.

• – Pigs in Blankets – remove from the package & place them onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment. 

• – Rainbow carrots – remove from the package & place them onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment.
