7. 7

   Last, add parsley and toss again.

8. 8

   Just before roasting, stuff mixture into the turkey cavity and neck crop skin.

9. 9

   Fold neck skin over to cover stuffing and lay bird on its back.

10. 10

    Sew or secure cavity by tucking the legs into slits in the skin.

    Roast as usual.
