Oven: 180°C / 160°C Fan / Gas Mark 4
Approximate Cooking Time: Allow approximately 20 minutes per kg plus 70 minutes as an initial planning guide for an unstuffed whole turkey.
Cooking times can vary depending on the size and shape of the bird, oven performance and the specific preparation of your turkey.

8kg Turkey: Approximately 3 hours 50 minutes.
-
9kg Turkey: Approximately 4 hours 10 minutes.
-
10kg Turkey: Approximately 4 hours 30 minutes.
These are approximate planning times, not guaranteed cooking times. Always follow the specific cooking guidance supplied with your turkey and use a meat thermometer to confirm that the bird is thoroughly cooked.
How to Roast Your Whole White Turkey
-
Preheat your oven to 180°C / 160°C Fan / Gas Mark 4.
-
Remove the turkey from its packaging and check the cavity for any giblets or packaging, removing these before cooking.
-
Place the turkey breast-side up in a suitable roasting tray.
-
Brush the skin with melted butter or oil and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
Cover loosely with foil to help retain moisture and prevent excessive browning.
-
Roast according to the cooking guidance supplied with your turkey.
-
Remove the foil for approximately the final 30–40 minutes to allow the skin to become beautifully golden.
-
Check the thickest parts of the breast and thigh, avoiding contact with bone, and ensure the internal temperature reaches 75°C.
-
Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and rest for approximately 30–45 minutes before carving.
Butcher's Tip: For beautifully succulent turkey, avoid overcooking and always allow a generous resting period before carving. Resting helps the natural juices settle throughout the meat, giving you wonderfully tender slices.
Important Cooking Information
All cooking times are approximate and based on cooking from chilled.
Whole turkey cooking times can vary depending on the bird's weight, shape and individual oven performance.
Always check that the thickest parts of the breast and thigh reach an internal temperature of 75°C before serving.
A food thermometer is the most reliable way to check that your turkey is thoroughly cooked.
Follow the use-by date, storage instructions and any specific cooking guidance supplied with your order.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your beautifully roasted Whole White Turkey with golden roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, rich homemade gravy, cranberry sauce and generous helpings of traditional festive stuffing and pigs in blankets.
For a proper Christmas feast, add honey-roasted parsnips, buttery Brussels sprouts, Yorkshire puddings and your favourite festive accompaniments.
And don't forget Boxing Day!
Leftover turkey makes delicious sandwiches with cranberry sauce or chutney, cold festive platters, homemade turkey pies, warming winter soups and comforting curries.
Refrigerate leftovers promptly and use within 48 hours, or freeze for later enjoyment.
