    Happy Christmas, Martino!

    This recipe is designed to be used to stuff a turkey, so the cooking times are the times used to cook the turkey, as follows:

    For a 3.5–4.5kg turkey:
    30 minutes at 220°C/gas mark 7, then 2½–3 hours at 170°C/gas mark 3, and a final 30 minutes (uncovered) at 200°C/gas mark 6.

    For a 6.75–9kg turkey
    45 minutes at 220°C/gas mark 7, then 4–5 hours at 170°C/gas mark 3, and a final 30 minutes (uncovered) at 200°C/gas mark 6.
