how to cook Christmas or Thanks Giving Turkey

[koolherc1974]

a top tip - butter mixed with finely diced truffle (not all are super expensive) and push it under the skin of the breast. love your videos been watching them as my rendang is cooking. also, a great accompaniment is finely sliced cooked chestnut, finely sliced streaky bacon and finely sliced sprouts fried together. p.s. hurry up and get a book out - especially more malaysian dishes!

and why do u leave to rest for 20min?

[carolineartiss]

hello Ifuss. So the main reason for adding stuffing is to try and keep the turkey more juicy and add some flavour. You don't have to use stuffing, you can cook it plain. Also, you leave it to rest, like all meats, so that the juices stay in the meat. If you cut it straight away the juice will ooze out, let it sink and settle into the meat by resting it! Hope that helps x

this is probably a stupid question lol ....but why do people put stuffing in a turkey? What happens if you dont put stuffing? can u make it plain?
