• Turkey Brining - whole and crowns

  Hi, Last Christmas you had a recipe for an overnight brine bath for a turkey. I can't seem to find the recipe. Are you able to post this again please? Regards, Lynne  

  I'm making christmas dinner this week for my girlfriends and we love to try something new. Just been reading nigella's recipie and wondering if I'd be wasting my time doing this with a turkey crown?? There's only five of us eating so I tend to just buy a croan to minimise on waste and nobody's fussed for legs. Also could you possibly suggest nigella's most indulgent ideas for canapes/starter and dessert....I am really struggling to choose a dessert they all sound so tempting!!!!!!!!!!!! Auntyshell

• Turkey Stuffing

  This year I've decided to make Turkey breasts instead of the full Turkey. My idea was to flatten out the breasts and put turkey stuffing in the middle and roll the meat around it. My question is, will I need extra time for the stuffing? Or will just cooking for the turkey breasts be enough?
