Instructions

1. Put all the chopped vegetables and herbs in a roasting tin.
2. Take the turkey out of the brine, pat it dry and wrap it in the bacon.
3. Set the turkey on the vegetables and roast in a preheated oven at 185 degrees for 1 hour 30 minutes.
4. Transfer the turkey to a warm plate and cover it with foil to rest.
5. For the gravy, put the tin on the hob over heat, add the runny honey and heat until it begins to caramelise, then pour in the soy sauce to deglaze the tin.
6. Add the melted butter to the tin, then stir in the flour and cook gently for a minute or so. Gradually ladle in the stock, then simmer for ten minutes so the flour cooks through.
7. Pass the gravy through a fine sieve into a clean saucepan and keep warm until needed.
