With family and friends over to feast..it's pandemonium in the kitchen with everyone trying to make a dish or chip in.. Keeping up the with tradition the Turkey Roast is my dept, and this time it was a 10 kg one. Marinated it the previous night with fresh sage, thyme and rosemary butter and put it in the oven at 4 am to be ready in time (7 hrs in the oven). All well worth the effort when it turns out right..crispy from the out and moist inside.. Happy faces.. Job done! @rajkundra9 Well done the molten lava cake was yummmm."
