Christmas time is turkey time. Nothing lands on the festive table with more weight and anticipation than the giant bird. You can either get a whole turkey roasting in the oven, for which we recommend Heston Blumenthal’s tried-and-true turkey recipe with gravy, or just stuff and roast your turkey legs. We also like the turkey barbecued, smoked or rolled up involtini-style.
These are our best Christmas turkey recipes.
