10 slices smoked bacon, finely chopped
1/4 lb celery, finely chopped
4 None onions, peeled, 2 finely chopped and 2 cut into wedges
1/3 cup dry white wine
⅓ tbsp butter
5 slices white bread, crusts removed and finely diced
7 3/4 lb turkey
1/2 lb cranberries
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 None orange, zest only, plus slices to garnish
None None steamed broccoli, to serve
4 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped, plus sprigs to garnish
None None mashed potatoes, to serve

1
Preheat the oven to 375u00b0F. To make the stuffing, fry the bacon in a large non-stick frying pan for 4-5 mins until the fat starts to render. Add the celery and chopped onions and saute gently for 5 mins. Stir in the wine and 8 tbsp of the butter and heat gently until the butter has melted. Stir in the diced bread, mix thoroughly and remove from the heat. Set aside to cool.
2
Use some of the stuffing to stuff the turkey. Fold over the loose flap of skin and secure with a metal skewer. Place the turkey in a large roasting pan. Melt the rest of the butter and brush over the turkey then season. Scatter the onion wedges around the turkey.
3
Roast the turkey for around 20 mins per lb - about 3 hrs. Baste the turkey occasionally with the roasting pan juices. To check if the turkey is cooked pierce the thickest part of the thigh with the tip of a knife - the juices should run clear. If they are pink return to the turkey to the oven for another 20 mins then check again.
4
To make the baked stuffing, spoon the rest of the stuffing mixture into a greased ovenproof dish and place in the oven for the last 30 mins of cooking time.
5
To make the cranberry sauce, place the cranberries in a pan with 2/3 cup water and the brown sugar. Bring to a boil then simmer gently for 20-25 mins until thickened, stirring occasionally. Add the cloves and orange zest.
6
Remove the cooked turkey from the oven. Cover with foil and let rest for at least 20 mins. Transfer the turkey to a platter with the rest of the stuffing cut into wedges and steamed broccoli. Garnish with parsley and orange slices and serve with the cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes.
