Recipe for Old fashioned Roast Turkey with Fresh Herb Stuffing, Cranberry Sauce and Bread Sauce
This is my favourite roast stuffed turkey recipe. You may think the stuffing seems dull because it doesn’t include exotic-sounding ingredients like chestnuts and spiced sausage meat, but in fact it is moist and full of the flavour of fresh herbs and the turkey juices.
