That's one mutant turkey, lol. It's legs are tiny!

[jeniffereb]

can i just make sure the vegetables are cooked with the turkey for 3:30 hrs? and another question if im rosting a chicken instead of turkey would that be the same amount of time for cooking?

thank you

[OriginalNakedChef]

@jeniffereb

You can cook the veg underneath the turkey as I did in the vid this will roast the veg. If you want you can cook some extra veg seperatly(boiling or steaming)

Chickens are usually smaller than turkey & therefore take less time to cook. If you are buying your chicken from a butcher or supermarket it is always worth reading what is recommended on the packaging or asking the butcher for recommended cook time. Otherwise I do have some vids on youtube for cooking a whole chicken.

I wish you showed how you made your gravy for this!

[OriginalNakedChef]

@ViciousHead

Yes sorry I have not included the gravy in this vid!

At the time I had a 10 min limit on video length.

I do have a video recipe for gravy when I cooked some pork if that will give you the basic principles.

The video is called: "Gravy How to make Gravy sauce from pan juices roast pork crackling"

Next time I do a turkey; maybe next year I will include the gravy!

[montyscherzando]

This looks really good :)

Im planning on doing your recipie this christmas!

Do i need to brine it before?

Thanks

[OriginalNakedChef]

@montyscherzando

That’s good to hear I hope it all goes well for you.

If you know how-to brine and have all the necessary equipment then brining should give you a more flavoursome and moist Turkey.

I don’t usually brine my turkeys and did not with the one in the video.

Let me know how you get on with your turkey :)

[AntiSkanger]

Can I hire you for christmas dinner lol

[OriginalNakedChef]

@AntiSkanger

That’s sounds good to me especially if there is a party afterwards :)

Although it could be a bit tricky this year as I will be in Spain for Christmas.

Maybe next year instead!

Have a good Christmas and enjoy your turkey.

Whats in the stuffing?

[OriginalNakedChef]

@KoolGaal

I can't remember the actual stuffing I used at the time. You can use any stuffing you like.

I do have a recipe on youtube for stuffing that’s very nice.

It called “Christmas Stuffing sage onion sausage".

Good luck with your turkey :)

When roasting a turkey, I would also start it at a high heat then turn it down to 350 F to finish. But can you tell me how many minutes it should be per kilo? I'm just looking for a guideline!

[OriginalNakedChef]

@OntarioBr88

As a general guide, based on a oven preheated to 180ºC (350ºF, Gas Mark 4):

Allow 45 minutes per kg plus 20 minutes for a turkey under 4.5kg

Allow 40 minutes per kg plus 20 mins for a turkey that's between 4.5kg and 6.5kg

Allow 35 minutes per kg plus 20 mins for a turkey of more than 6.5kg. 

The thing you have to keep in mind is ovens do vary in performance and cook times are a guide only.

[OriginalNakedChef]

@OntarioBr88

Cook time/temp for my turkey as per video

Weight of mine 5.5KG

1. Place into pre-heated oven 250c/475f/Gas 9 Cook for 30 mins to get the turkey a blast of heat.

2. After 30 mins cooking reduce heat to 170c/325f/Gas 3 cook for 2 ½ hours

3. Now in total the turkey has cooked for 3 hours, you need to remove tin foil and pancetta or bacon and put back in the oven for the final 30 mins at 200c/400f/gas 6

Total time cooked is 3 ½ hours to 4 hours depending on your oven

[earlrobinson35]

Do you roast your potatoes separately then, or could I put them with parsnips and carrots under the turkey do you think? Thanks!

[OriginalNakedChef]

@earlrobinson35

I think it would be nice to keep the potatoes separate. That way you can get them nice and crispy!

Sounds like your planning for Christmas dinner :))

[doctorw2]

the americans serve their turkey with something called stuffing why is that?

[OriginalNakedChef]

@doctorw2

I don't think it just the Americans.

Stuffing can be a nice extra to go with the meal.

After all Christmas and Thanksgiving are those days that you tend to stuff yourself :)

I have a recipe for stuffing on youtube if you are interested.

“Christmas Stuffing sage onion sausage”

[wuddychunk1]

It`s nice to have a recipe that is practical as opposed to them in recipe books that expect you to buy alsorts just to have a spoon of this and that.

[OriginalNakedChef]

@wuddychunk1

I know exactly what you mean. So many recipes expect you to but lots of expensice ingridients that you wont use until next year. Thanks for watching and the comms.

@OriginalNakedChef

My turkey was a success!!! thank you so much!!! I've also made a great gravy out of the juices in the tray!

And, the bacon (which came out beautiful and crispy) I chopped it up and mixed it with the roast potatoes!

It was AMAZING! Thank you so much!

[OriginalNakedChef]

@seibei79

That's really great to hear. It sounds like you have done a very good job!

Thanks for letting us know and a very happy Christams to you.

[OriginalNakedChef]

@HyperHorse

Great video, your a very good cook. Do another one for this Christmas but differently :)

[OriginalNakedChef]

@UlsterScotKeith

Thanks for the comms. I actually made this video on christmas day.

I was thinking for this christmas maybe cooking something else. If I do another turkey I will as you suggest do it differently :))

[OriginalNakedChef]

@emmaO85

Hi emmaO85,

Were you the 1,000 viewer? Congratulations!

Anyone would think that turkeys are only for Christmas or Thanks Giving.

Maybe it the long cook time!

Thanks for taking the time to comment
