Directions
- Work out the time for your turkey from Smart roaster.
- Get up early and make the stuffings.
- Pre-heat the oven to 170°C on fan setting. (Use the fast heat setting if a smaller bird, but to be honest, you've got 10 minutes of work here).

- Cover bird in foil.
- Put in oven.
- Stud onion for bread sauce and bring milk to the boil.
- With 40 minutes to go, peel potatoes, and add to pan to boil for 5 minutes.
- Add them to a tray greased with fat for 25 minutes.
- Take out turkey and remove the foil. Return to the oven, and turn up heat to 180°C or use rotatherm setting at 165°C.
- When timer goes, pull out the turkey and put in the pigs in blankets.
- Stand the turkey for 20 minutes.
- Finish off the bread sauce.
- Start to make the gravy.
- When 20 minutes are up, pull out the roast potatoes and pigs in blankets.
