Cooking Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 160°C.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the turkey and rub all over to coat the turkey evenly. Season to taste with the salt and pepper and place in a large roasting tray with a lid.
- For the stuffing, sauté the onion and garlic in a splash of oil until soft and translucent. Remove from the pan and allow to cool slightly.
- When the onion mixture is cool, add the pork sausage meat and cranberries and season to taste (fry a little of the mixture in a hot frying pan to test the seasoning).
- Stuff the pork stuffing into the turkey loosely (if you stuff it too tightly the turkey will take very long to cook). Any remaining stuffing can be baked in a loaf tin alongside the turkey until cooked.
- Place the quartered onions, garlic, lemon and thyme around the turkey in the roasting tray and cover with a lid/foil.
- Place the turkey in the oven and allow to roast for approximately 45 minutes per kilogram(including the kg of pork filling) plus another 30 minutes uncovered until the turkey is golden brown.
- When the turkey (and stuffing) is cooked, remove from the oven and allow to rest, covered, for at least 30 mins and up to 2 hours before carving and serving.
