Now, I know it’s just a glorified Sunday lunch but it’s the first Christmas dinner I’m doing since buying our house and moving out. I’m 23, I’ll be 37 weeks pregnant at Christmas so I want to try and prep and plan as much as possible to make it as stress free as possible.
It is just me and DP at home, it’s our first.. and now last Christmas at home as just us two so I want it to work :)
I’m hot on my usual roast dinners, my roast potatoes are voted beet in the family, aswell as my parsnips. I love cooking so I’m willing to give it my all.
But.. I’ve never cooked turkey
.. what’s the best way? Shall I just get a crown between me and DP? What temp, how long for, what do i season with ect? Tell me everything!
Where can I find chestnut stuffing?
How do I use goose fat? Do I use it in conjunction with veg oil for the potatoes or do I use it on its own?
Shall I still coat my part boiled potatoes in flour before roasting?
What time does everyone usually eat? How much prep do you do the night before?
Tips and tricks would be golden if anyone has any :)
Thanks in advance!
