    Cant remember the KG weight but took 3hrs to cook and only got 3 slices off each side of the breasts which was pretty crappy, but I stuffed that bad boy into every crevice so got loads of stuffing. The legs and underbelly and rest of it went to the Cats so they are happy out all day long.

    Anyone try deep frying their turkey? It locks in the moisture so it doesn't get dry or so they say.

    18lb, but the real star of the show was the ham from a cousin's pot-bellied pig they slaughtered about two weeks ago. Even thinking about it has me craving more...
