Aah now I see, Sorry Lilian, I went to the cooking for engineer’s site and saw that the turkey is actually breast side down on a rack… oooh! baru saya tahu… still… upside down how to see the thing pop-up.. or down as the case may be?

If your turkey is breast side down how is the timer going to pop up? since its on the breast it will pop down isn’t it? from the back is it? or iit pop hit the tin and make a sound pang!! like that and you know its cooked? Or instead it will push itself inside and you eat turkey with timer inside muahahaha!!

Hi, I love your blog – in fact, I’ve been lurking around for ages now. =)

Anyway, I’ve done turkey a few times. I prefer cooking the stuffing separately. I put herby butter on the breasts (once above, and another time right under the skin) and put a lattice of bacon on top – that helped with the problem of dry chicken breasts and negated the need for basting regularly. I much prefer putting the butter under the skin because then the skin will go crispy. I cover the turkey with aluminium foil and then uncover it for the last half hour to get the crispiness. Then stand the bird for about 20 minutes under an aluminium tent before carving it.

My food magazines tell me to roast 40 minutes for every kg of bird at 190C. I cannot for the life of me remember whether that’s with or without the stuffing inside the bird.

But anyway, I guess your pop up timer will let you know when to take it out.

Good luck! Merry Christmas and Happy feasting! Keep up with your blogging – I love it =)

remember to put bacon slices on top of the turkey so it’s nice and juicy! Don’t forget the cranberry sauce too.

Merry Xmas and waiting to see that roast turkey on Msia Best!
