Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C fan (180°C / 350°F), gas mark 4.
2. Remove the giblets and neck, tuck the leg tips into the cavity and the wing tips under the bird.
3. Place the turkey on a large wire rack set over a large roasting tray.
4. Rub the turkey all over with the olive oil, then season with the salt and pepper.
5. Pour the chicken stock into the base of the tray.
6. Brush or spray a sheet of foil with a little oil, then loosely tent it over the turkey and tray, sealed at the edges and not touching the bird.
7. Roast for 2 hours, then remove the foil and roast for a further hour.
8. Roast until the turkey is golden brown, then transfer to a warm plate.
9. Rest for 30-60 minutes (about 45 minutes is ideal) without covering. If you need longer, loosely tent with foil leaving a gap above the skin.
10. Use the juices in the tray to make gravy.
