Method

1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Lightly grease a large baking dish.

2.Melt butter in a large frying pan on medium. Sauté‚ onion for 2-3 minutes until tender. Remove from heat.

3.Stir breadcrumbs, herbs and eggs into onion mixture. Season to taste.

4.Fill cavity of turkey with stuffing. Secure with skewers. Tie turkey legs and wings with kitchen string to secure. Place on a trivet in a baking dish. Rub with oil and season to taste.

5.Bake uncovered for about 2 hours or until juices run clear when pierced. Remove from oven and let rest, loosely covered with foil, for 10-15 minutes before carving.

6.Serve with chipolatas, cranberry sauce and gravy if liked.

As a guide, cook turkey for 15-20 minutes per 500g (including stuffing weight) plus 20 minutes, until juices run clear when tested. Add chipolatas to pan for the last 20 minutes, or pan-fry just before serving.
