PERFECT STUFFED ROASTED TURKEY

1 whole Turkey (count 1/2 kg per person)

½ cup olive oil

1 Tbsp of each rosemary, sage and  thyme

1 Tbsp salt

1 Tsp pepper

2 chicken stock cubes

1 onion

For the stuffing:

½ kg dried bread cubes

3 eggs

½ – 1 cup milk

1 hand full parsley, chopped

1 onion, finely chopped

Salt, pepper

Preheat oven to 160°C. Bring water and the stock cubes to a boil and let simmer. Mix olive oil with herbs, salt and pepper. Rub turkey with this mixture from inside and out and also between breast skin and meat by lifting the skin with the fingers and rubbung the mixture underneath. It is pretty gross but it makes the turkey nice and juicy. Place turkey on a rack in a large enough pan to hold the turkey. Mix all the stuffing ingredients and work it through with your hands until you have a dense but not too sticky mass. Stuff the stuffing into the chicken openings as dense as possible.  Pour 2 cups of soup on the bottom of the roasting pan. Place into the oven. I use the rule of the thumb for baking: 30 minutes per kg turkey. It is very important to pour soup over the turkey every 15-30 minutes for the turkey to be delightfully juicy. To test for doneness you can cut the skin between leg and breast. The liquid comeing out should be translucent and not pink when it is done. Or a thermometer inserted into the meat should show 70 °C.

YUMMY!!!!!
