Its not finished yet, but here is the story thus far!

One turkey plucked and ready (Organic, free range, small farm etc)

Stuffed with Sage and Onion stuffing, Sausages and with half an onion and some parsley in the cavity:

and www.statichiss.co.uk/xmasdinner/xmasdinner16.jpg)

Potatos peeled, cut and ready to be boiled:

Parsnips cut and ready - the trick here is to remove the centre of the parsnip to stop them going hard when roasted:

Carrot and swede peeled and diced:

Pigs in blankets and quenelles of stuffing ready to be roasted:

Cranberry sauce:

1 packet (12oz) of fresh organic cranberries
250ml of water
200g of sugar (adjust to taste)

Bring to the boil and simmer until perfect:

Yummy cranberry sauce!

Turkey is halfway there, just needs some juices over it:

Potatos ready to be roasted having been parboiled and fluffed. (Parsnips also went in at the same time)
