The easiest way to get a juicy Roast Turkey | Christmas Dinner

- Whether you're cooking a small or a larger turkey this year (we always go large because we LOVE turkey leftovers), I'll show you how to roast a turkey without the stress.
No brining, no basting and no stuffing - this is my easy, fuss-free recipe that really lets the flavour shine, and ensures the turkey is lovely and juicy.
Free printable recipe including loads of hints and tips here: www.kitchensan...
Ingredients:
1 turkey - approx 4.5kg/10lbs - see notes for different size turkeys
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
240 ml (1 cup) chicken stock - - this can be warm or cold
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 160C Fan/180C/350F/Gas mark 4
2. Remove the giblets and neck (you can save these to make stock another time), tuck the tips of the legs into the cavity and tuck the tips of the wings underneath the bird.
3. Place the turkey on a large wire rack on top of a large roasting tray.
4. Rub the oil all over the turkey, then sprinkle on the salt and pepper.
5. Pour the stock into the base of the roasting tray.
6. Brush or spray the foil with a little more oil, then tent the foil over the turkey and the tray so there are no gaps. Try not to let the foil touch the turkey - this will allow steam to circulate around the turkey as it’s cooking. You will probably need to connect a couple of large pieces of foil together so it will fit - just roll and then scrunch the edges of the pieces of foil together so they stay connected.
7. Place the turkey in the oven and roast for 2 hours.
8. Remove the foil roast for a further hour.
9. Once the turkey is lovely and golden brown, remove from the oven and transfer to a warm serving plate.
10. Leave to rest for 30-60 minutes (I usually rest mine for about 45 minutes). This is ultra-important if you want a juicy turkey. The turkey will still be warm after this period (plus if you’re serving on warm plates with hot gravy you have nothing to worry about at all). There is no need to cover the turkey (unless you’re in a really cold room) during this time, as the internal temperature tends to rise a little more during the resting period, and covering with foil would just cook the turkey further and the skin will soften.
11. Serve with all of those wonderful side dishes for an amazing Christmas Dinner.
If you need more time to make roasties etc after the turkey comes out of the oven and think you might need to let the turkey rest for 60-90 minutes, then tent foil over the top, leaving space between the turkey and the foil (this is so any trapped steam on the foil isn’t touching the skin - which would make it go soggy).
Use the juices in the bottom of the tray to make gravy (or add these juices to gravy you’ve made ahead - check out my video for make-ahead Christmas gravy **** Coming soon!).
Turkey Roasting timings:
Note: this is for whole turkeys (not turkey crowns).
For turkeys under 4kg (8.8lbs), this is 20 minutes per kg (2.2lbs) plus 70 minutes.
For turkeys 4kg (8.8lbs) and over, this is 20 minutes per kg (2.2lbs) plus 90 minutes.
Always check that your roast turkey is cooked before serving!

Very good recipe, I changed the recipe with little no silly ingredients, no drama, no bacon. I added butter and herbs after 2 hours, and cooked another 1 and half hour and it came out wow. Everyone at the dinner was praising. I'm happy.
I love how easy everything is that you cook. It makes it easier for us to try on our own. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome, thanks for watching :)
followed your recipe and my first turkey turned out perfectly moist and tender, thank you! you made it worth giving it a go…😍 i added some favourite herbs.
BOY, I SURE LOVE THAT OVEN DOOR!!
New favourite youtube channel! My first time making Christmas Dinner for the In Laws this year!! 😅
Yay! Thank you and best of luck cooking for the in laws :)
All the best... 👍👍
Looks like another winner.
My family has never been fond of turkey because it tends to be dry.
Will definitely have to try this one.
Perfect!!! A normal delicious family home cooked Christmas Turkey recipe with out all the faff and unneeded extra prep like soaking, brining, butter under the skin malarkey! Thank you xx
It's just gonna be rocking this Christmas and New Year with some of these special recipes. Great 👍
Hope you enjoy
I'm cooking Turkey for the first time this Xmas. Can't wait
Thanks Nicky, vital and timely advice seeing that It’s my turn to cook this year. 😁
Perfect, best of luck :)
Salivating just watching !!!!!! Just seems so weird letting it stand not covered for 45 mins .... obviously thats where I go wrong every year, not letting it stand after it comes out of the oven!!!! I assume you cook the stuffing in separate dishes? I have always put them in the cavity with no problem tbh
Seeing those potatoes at the end, I trust your turkey recipe. Looks fantastic!
Bravo! that was exactly what I was looking for! Merry Christmas!
that looks amazing, will be using so many of your videos to help with christmas this year :)
Yay! Thank you!
As I can’t be with family this year so I’m on my own so I’m just having a chicken but still gonna try this merry Christmas stay safe ❄️🌨☃️😍😍
Thats where many people mess up and wind up with dry turkeys. They cant wait to taste it as soon as it comes out of the oven and cut into it. I wrap mine with foil and let it sit for a good 30 minutes. For my casseroles like baked macaroni and cheese and lasagne, when I take them out of the oven I let them sit on the counter uncovered for 15 to twenty minutes so when I cut into it it wont be runny. Instead of the traditional Christmas dinner. I am doing a "Tour of Italy" with 4 entrees instead of 3. The entrees are Seafood Alfredo, Lasagne, Chicken Parmesan, and Chicken Marsala. These entrees will be served with scratch baked garlic knot rolls, Meatballs with marinara sauce and melted mozzerella cheese, and Greek salad
I love the idea of a tour of Italy for dinner. That's something Chris and I will have to try soon :)

Thank you 😋
Another brill episode. Now that's one hell of a chrimbo dinner, looks delicious. Ta Nicky
Thanks Rich :)
Love all your recipe.. from chicago
Thanks so much
I would personally put herb butter under the skin and over. Because Turkey's such a lean bird it's important to moisturize it so it's not too dry. I would also stuff the cavity with lemons and onions to add flavor and more moisture to it. That's just me though, not all people do that. This is still a great way to do it.
This looks great, thanks for sharing, if I put some somked paprika in the stock would I get a smoked teurkey flavour?
The best video that I've seen!
Flipping heck did you see those roasties !!
Very nice recipe!
Thanks a lot
Lovely and juicy 0:19
Dryer than the desert
Happy Thanksgiving from the US :-0)
Can you make dinner for 5? (It was worth a try.) Thanks for the recipe.
Ha ha ha, it was worth a try :)
Thank you for sharing...yum!! 😋
My pleasure 😊
Great video gorgeous... what do you find is the best way to get the legs off?
Happy Christmas gorgeous 😍
Saw the way of preparing by
MR BEAN
not recommended
ha ha ha, no I wouldn't recommend the Mr Bean way ;)
😂😂👏🏽
Was the food cold for the money shots? Just not a hint of steam from warm food?
Here 23rd December, 2020
I like your recipes but how to do that without alufolie?
Where are the times?
THIS TURKEY WILL TASTE LIKE PAPER!!!
If you put a lil bit of salt on the skin and nothing else, that meat will taste like absolutely nothing! That breast will be so tasteless, your guests will have to add salt and kids will have to dump it ketchup.
A GREAT RECIPE BUT AS A CANADIAN, I AM CURIOUS WHY SO MUCH OF THOSE TURKEY LEGS ARE LEFT ON?
Easy but no spices or flavours??
Hmm . I dunno, it looks tasty but it still looked a bit dry when it was carved. Turkey is a notorious nightmare to cook and keep moist .
Nobody says whilst anymore.
First
A 10lb bird, but just 1 tsp of salt????
No butter or herbs? Nahhhhhh
nice
