EXPERT TIP:

Take the chill of your turkey, and let it come to room temperature before roasting it.

Remove the gizzards and the neck bone from the turkey. Pat dry the turkey skin so there is no excess moisture.

Stuff turkey with the garlic bulbs, lemon and thyme. Liberally season the inside of the turkey with salt and pepper.

Mix together the ingredients for the flavoured butter, in a mixing bowl.

Using a pastry brush or your hands, liberally slather the turkey in all the crevices with the flavoured butter.

Cover the turkey with a tent of tin foil, and transfer the turkey to the oven.
