Christmas dinner small oven help needed

[Burntparsnip]

Hi everyone, unexpectedly we will be in temporary accommodation for Christmas
How on earth do I cook Christmas dinner for 4 adults and one child in a small oven?
I’d planned on turkey for the meat eaters (crown as smaller), nut roast thing for the veggie. I’d also planned roasted veg (which can’t go in with the meat due to the veggie) Yorkshire’s, pig in blankets and cauliflower cheese
It won't all fit in the oven at once
I could cook and freeze some but can’t work out how to plan it so it’s all nice and warm and safe to eat at the same time
Also 2 year old dd won't like me being locked in kitchen so trying to make the "day" as easy as possible
Any ideas welcomed
TIA

Could you borrow a slow cooker for the meat and free up the cooker for the rest?

How small is small? Is there a second shelf, can you fit anything in alongside the turkey? Do you have hob(s) or just the oven?

I'd pre-cook the roasties and any other roasted veg, then on the morning do the crown first, if poss start off the spuds in with it on a separate shelf as well. Then when the crown is ready to come out wrap it up well in foil and tea towels and leave to rest, whack the oven up high and finish off the spuds and add the veggie nut roast. The meat should be fine for up to an hour on the side, if its a bit lukewarm by the time you come to serve it can have 5 mins warming up at the end. Yorkies poss tricky but I'd buy ready made and they then only need 10 mins so you can rotate out the nut roast and just keep warm til the end?

Assuming you have 4 hobs you'll be fine, one for gravy, one for steaming/boiling any green veg, one for the pigs in blankets and one spare/for the christmas pud to steam if you have one. The cauli cheese I'd make in advance, zap in microwave or on hob to warm through and finish in oven.

Good luck!

Get the turkey out of the oven at least 45 mins before serving.
When you take the turkey out, you can put in the roast potatoes and pigs in blankets. Mary Berry says that you can half roast the potatoes the night before so they only need 20-30 minutes in the oven.
15 minutes before serving, get potatoes and pigs out of the oven and wrap in foil to keep warm. Put your Yorkshires in the oven. If you make your Yorkshires ahead and freeze them, they only need about 8 minutes www.saga.co.uk/magazine/food/cooking-tips/best-ever-yorkshire-pudding-recipe When Yorkshires are done, turn oven off and put plates in to warm for 5 minutes.

Stuffing freezes well – you can even freeze it in an oven dish, so once it's defrosted, you can pop the dish straight into the oven. You could even cook the stuffing before freezing, so on the day it only requires warming up.
Braised red cabbage is one of those foods that actually improves its flavour over time, so it’s well worth making in advance. It will keep a few days in the fridge, and reheats brilliantly.
Bread sauce freezes well, but it also keeps for a surprisingly long time in the fridge - just make it a few days before, and you'll only need to add a splash of milk and microwave it.
You can boil your parsnips and keep them in the fridge for up to a day before, to cut down on the cooking time. Alternatively, you could freeze them. Delia's Parmesan parsnips have freezing instructions.
Also make cheese sauce and gravy the day before and store in the fridge for re-heating quickly.

Cold desserts that can be made ahead and served straight away, like a chocolate mousse or a frozen dessert, are ideal.

Oh wow thanks everyone! Great suggestions. I didn’t realise the meat would be safe out for quite so long (I know to rests).
I dont know how small small is as we don't move in there till tomorrow. I asked the owner and they said quite small so I’m panicking
Really great suggestions not just for small oven but to make things aside on the day anyway
Thankyou I think I will use a combination of suggestions

Rest the turkey for as long as long as you cook it for, covered with foil and a tea towel.

Short notice, I know, but would this help?

food warmer

Also saw similar in Morrisons yesterday.

Otherwise, turkey first, do early. Put plates in the sink in hot water to warm them. Dishes of cooked food can be kept hot if placed over the pans of boiling veg with the pan lid on top of them. In suitable containers, obviously.

Good luck!

I usually put the turkey in the oven as soon as we get up, usually around 6am and once it's cooked add another layer or tin foil and wrap in bath towels while it rests for a few hours while everything else cooks in the oven. It stays hot and remains really juicy.

I always cook the turkey on its own first and then let it rest (covered) for an hour while I do the veg and it has always still been piping hot!

I cook and reheat the veg in the oven in those tin trays along the bottom, and the pigs in blankets, stuffing.

You can rest a turkey for up to 2 hours, use tin foil and a bath towel, it will be fine. Then everything else can be done whilst it rests.

Turkey will be absolutely safe resting for an hour or more while you cook everything else. That's how you are supposed to cook it!

Cover it with foil and put a few tea towels over the top to stop it from drying out as it rests.

You could even cook the turkey the night before, if you serve it onto warmed plates and pour hot gravy over the top of it.

Thanks everyone so useful. I will make sure I have lots of tin foil and tea towels.
The food warmer looks great, I’m sure my parents had something similar when I was young, when they used it I felt like I was in a carvery ;)

Everything can be lukewarm but make sure the gravy is piping hot.
