Ingredients

• Rolled and boned turkey joint
• 12 chipolata sausages
• 1 pack of streaky bacon
• 8-10 medium potatoes
• Brussels sprouts (4-5 each)
• Carrots
• Turkey or chicken gravy mix
• Stuffing mix
• Cranberry sauce
• Salt & pepper
• Cooking oil
• Dried herbs

Method

1) Turkey - Are you a vegetarian? Don't feel left out! Check out some great alternatives!

2) Pigs in blankets – chop the sausages in half – there you have the pigs! For the blankets, cut each rasher of bacon in half and stretch them with a knife. Then, wrap the bacon around each sausage making sure the seal is underneath.

3) Roast Potatoes -peel and chop the potatoes in half then par boil in salted water for about 8 minutes. Stop cooking before they’re cooked right through. Whilst the potatoes are boiling, cover the roasting tin in oil and place it in the oven.

4) Next, chop up the carrots and prepare the sprouts. Cutting an ‘X’ in to the bottom of the sprout will make them cook faster and more evenly. Then place them in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes.

5) Once the potatoes are ready, drain them and place them in the roasting tray. Make sure the oil is nice and hot and leave them for 35-40 minutes. Halfway through shake them about on the tray so they roast evenly.

6) At the same time, put your pigs in blankets around the turkey to cook for the last 25-30 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.

7) Stuffing - You can’t have turkey without stuffing and a ready mix is just as good as making it from scratch. Once it is prepared following the on pack instructions, place it in the oven for 25-30 minutes.

8) With 10-20 minutes to go before the turkey is ready, it’s time to get the sprouts and carrots cooking.

9) Gravy -using turkey or chicken gravy mix, start warming the gravy on the hob. And now for the secret ingredient to make your gravy extra tasty - add in the juices from the turkey!

10) Plate up and serve with cranberry sauce. If you're feeling a bit adventurous, you could even try an apple or a white sauce!

…and that's how it’s done!
