Step 1

Rub: Mix together the Rub.

Step 2

Prep Turkey: Pat the turkey dry with paper towels., inside and out. Remove giblets or anything else inside the turkey. (Note 5)

Step 3

Sprinkle: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt inside and use you hand to spread it (roughly is fine). Turn the turkey upside down, then rub 1 teaspoon of the salt mixture on the underside.

Step 4

Turn the turkey upright and rub the remaining salt on the turkey, using most on the breast - even some under the skin if you can.

Step 5

Wrap turkey mummy-like in lots of cling wrap or place the turkey in a sealable plastic bag (Note 6).

Step 6

Place turkey upside down in baking pan. Refrigerate.

Step 7

24 hours later: Flip turkey so it's right side up.

Step 8

24 (to 48 hours) later: unwrap turkey. The skin should be moist but not wet. If wet, pat dry. Leave out for 30 min before roasting.

Step 9

Preheat oven to 220C/425F (standard) or 200C/390F (fan).

Step 10

Place the onions and garlic in a roasting pan. Place a roasting rack on top - if you have one (Note 8 for sub).

Step 11

Stuff bunch of herbs + 2 garlic halves + 3 tbsp butter (45g) inside the turkey. Tie drumsticks together with kitchen twine (optional).

Step 12

Place turkey UPSIDE DOWN on the rack. Twist the wings so they are on top - see video. Brush with a bit of melted butter. Sprinkle with a tiny bit of salt and pepper.

Step 13

Pour wine in roasting pan.

Step 14

Roast for 30 minutes.

Step 15

Use a tea towel to turn the turkey over. Brush with butter, sprinkle with a tiny bit of salt and pepper.

Step 16

Turn oven down to 165C/325F (standard) or 150C/300F (fan). Roast turkey 45 minutes.

Step 17

Mix remaining butter with garlic and herbs. Brush turkey generously with butter.

Step 18

Roast turkey for a further 30 minutes or until a) the thermometer that comes with the turkey pops up (America) b) a thermometer inserted between the breast and leg reads 165F/75C. (Notes 9, 10). Cover loosely with foil if browning too much.

Step 19

Remove turkey onto serving plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 30 minutes before transferring to platter for presentation and carving (see in post for styling idea).

Step 20

Serve turkey with gravy and/or Cranberry Sauce.

Step 21

Place roasting pan (with garlic, onion etc still in it) on the stove over medium high heat. Add flour and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 22

Add broth and use a potato masher to mash the onion and garlic into the mixture. Use a wooden spoon to scrap the bottom of the pan. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened.

Step 23

Strain into a bowl, pressing down to extract all the flavour out of the onion and garlic. Transfer to gravy boat.
