Try this roast turkey with chestnut stuffing, then check out our easy roast turkey, turkey crown, turkey gravy and more Christmas turkey recipes. Serve with all the Christmas trimmings, including pigs in blankets, roast carrots and parsnips, Brussels sprouts and Christmas red cabbage.

Cooking tips: Start the turkey prep on Christmas Eve so that it’s ready to go straight in the oven on Christmas Day. You could also get the chestnut and sage stuffing made up and cook it alongside the turkey for the last 40 minutes. Cooking the stuffing separately means you are in control of the cooking time, so you end up with a crisp top and sides, without drying out the centre
